4. Examples

        Months            *
        Days of the month *
        Days of the week  *
        Hours             0
        Minutes           5
        

This setup would run a process every day, at five minutes past midnight.

        Months            *
        Days of the month *
        Days of the week  0,3,6
        Hours             2
        Minutes           10
        

This setup would run a process on every Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday, at 2:10 a.m.

        Months            *
        Days of the month 1,15,31
        Days of the week  2
        Hours             1
        Minutes           10
        

This setup would run a process during every month, on the 1st, 15th and 31st, and on every Tuesday, at 1:10 a.m. Obviously, you'll probably never need to schedule a job like this, but the example illustrates how the days of the month and days of the week fields are combined, if neither field is *.
