That's funny, because I have:

*/20 8-21 * * Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri /home/qirien/html/uploadimage
*/20 11-21 * * Sat,Sun /home/qirien/html/uploadimage

in my crontab for my webcam and it works fine . . . is this a version-specific 
thing?  Or is the man page out of date?  Or is this a bug that just happens 
to work?
