Hi guys, I'm trying to run two cron tasks, one every two hours and the other one every four hours.
The thing is that the tasks run every minute! And I really don't know why... :(

I'm using debian 8 jessie and those are my settings:

Does anybody know what happens?? Thanks a lot!! :)

Change your minute from * to 0. Because * means run every minute and 0 only runs at minute 00.
