How Do I Set Up Crontab On Windows For Scripts to Run on Linode
I am new to Linode and would like to put some scripts on the server that I want to schedule to run every 15 minutes. I use a laptop with Windows OS installed, and I have been unable to successfully do the scheduling on Linode. The below error is what I keep getting.
"/tmp/crontab.mCt6Nc/crontab":23: bad day-of-week
Can someone please advise me what the problem is and, if possible, I would appreciate one-on-one support?
Thank you in advance.

Your crontab file is malformed. Make sure the entries in your crontab file are in the proper format:
My suspicion is that you have a couple of them reversed or otherwise out of place. crontab files are just text files…which OS you create them on shouldn't make any difference (unless Windows encodes them in some weird character set).
