Best thing is to pull up the man page on the box you're working on. Not all 
installations are the same.

Indeed, looking up the crontab on my OI box, 7 doesn't exist. It is 0-6 with 
0=Sunday)

Other things that are worth checking is the location of some options.

On some boxes some options like recursive, come after the file options, while 
some come before. It drives me nuts, but it is always worth checking the man 
for the particular box you're working on.

Hope that helps.
