First of all I am a newbie to FreeBSD and if I need to be pointed somewhere
else let me know.

I have 2 questions

I have a .sh script that I want to run every 25 minutes everyday
  So would I do the following:
	25    *       *       *       *       root    /usr/local/bin/MY.sh >
/dev/null 2>&1


Also in the above script I want to add a line in my log file 

Echo >> MY SH Completed

The thing is I would like to date and timestamp it, how could I do that?







Thanks,
