The meaning of the entries is explained in the previous section 3.1. See this section if you are not shure what to enter here.

Here are some more hints for editing/adding entries: You must not enter all values. If you just state a time and a weekday the command will be everytime on this weekday at the stated time. Also you can only state a time which will make cron run the command at this time on every day. Just leave the appropriate fields empty.

By using Edit, Edit variables you can also edit environment variables which will be set for the shell cron runs your command in. This is especially usefull if you need to set additional PATH variables etc. for your command.
