If you work a lot using the cron jobs, it makes sense to check the syntax that you are using. This is more so if you have something that runs only once a day or month.
I got across this link http://www.hxpi.com/cron_sandbox.php which gives you a list of date/time when your script would run based on the syntax provided.
