Here is an explanation of the crontab format.
# 1. Entry: Minute when the process will be started [0-60]
# 2. Entry: Hour when the process will be started [0-23]
# 3. Entry: Day of the month when the process will be started [1-28/29/30/31]
# 4. Entry: Month of the year when the process will be started [1-12]
# 5. Entry: Weekday when the process will be started [0-6] [0 is Sunday]
#
# all x min = */x
Eg:
To have a cron executed on Sunday you can use either of these:
5 8 * * 0
5 8 * * 7
5 8 * * Sun
Where 5 8 stands for the time of the day when this will happen: 8:05.
In general, if you want to execute something on Sunday, just make sure the 5th column contains either of 0, 7 or Sun. You had 6, so it was running on Saturday.
The format for cronjobs is:
+---------------- minute (0 - 59)
| +------------- hour (0 - 23)
| | +---------- day of month (1 - 31)
| | | +------- month (1 - 12)
| | | | +---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7)
| | | | |
* * * * * command to be executed
You can always use crontab-guru or as a editor to check your cron expressions.
