    Would this be the right cron for running every quarter?

    0 0 * 1,4,9,12 *

    Jan, Apr, Sept, Dec

    Oops, the above I picked the wrong months. Take 2:


    0 02 17 1,4,7,10 *

    Runs at 2 am on every 17th of the months Jan, April, July, October.

    ...right?

    Well, yes, but that's not "every quarter" - every quarter would be 3, 6, 9, 12 (march, june, september, december).
