You don't need the `/01` part. The `*` denotes that it will run every minute. – EEAA Feb 14 '12 at 16:22

indeed! but if the interval would be 5 mins - then `*/05 8-20 * * *`, correct? thanks! – drdarwin Feb 14 '12 at 16:24

The correct line would be
* 8-20 * * * user /usr/bin/php -f script.php > /dev/null

yes, for every five minutes you would use */5, you do not need the leading zero. – Niko S P Feb 14 '12 at 16:26

do you need more information on this topic or do you have any other reason not to accept this answer? – Niko S P Feb 28 '12 at 01:00
