CentOS - Jun 2008 - Rsync + crontab centos5.1

Just looking at the "man rsync".

Might as well be duagnosing a plattypus.

I have made a dir on my Cent samba shares to setup a local fedora.repo

(1) How do I get it to run weekly at a certain time. is this correct?

crontab -e 22 7 0 0 /usr/bin/rsync -va
/Fedora-Mirror  /local samba share.

(2) Trying to get cron it run 10pm every saturday night.
Log whats happening.
update packages, include new packages. 
Exlude extra languages from things like openoffice\xorg etc.. that the
family don't need.
(family lan)

?(3) Would one normally download the mirrors "repodata",
or run create createrepo oneself?

This is what I added to the top of my /etc/crontab file to remind me what
goes where:
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

# * * * * * 'command to be executed - preceed with a usersname (such as
root)
# | | | | | to run command as that user'
# | | | | |
# | | | | +----- day of week (0 - 6) (0 = Sunday)
# | | | +------- month (1 - 12)
# | | +--------- day of month (1 - 31)
# | +----------- hour (0 - 23)
# +------------- min (0 - 59)

# an asterix (*) in any field matches all values.
# To create a periodic event, use */n where n is the required period.
#   For instance, to run a command every 5 minutes, do the following
#     */5 * * * * 'command to be executed'


Hope it helps clean the issue of setting up a cron job.  As for rsync, maybe
I'll know better when I'm done setting up a cluster system which I'm
in the
middle of.

Cheers,
AK.
