Scheduler question

Ok guys,
I got the weather scripts running on 27078. I can command a manual voice report via DTMF. What i am having problems with is getting the scheduler to play the daily report at 6am and 1pm local time. I have the cron set up ok to run the update scripts, and like I said touch toning them manually is no problem.

What I have done so far:
in rpt.conf,

[macro]

1 = *94#

;

; Scheduler - execute a macro at a given time

;

[schedule]

;dtmf_function = m h dom mon dow ; ala cron, star is implied

1 = 15 6,13,19 * * * ; at 6:15,13:15,
execute macro 1.

What am I missing here (notice i tried to set the times for 6:15, 13:15, and 19:15 daily.

Also I know I saw it in the archives ( but cannot seem to run across it again- if I make changes to rpt.conf or some other file, what is the command to reload that file so asterisk sees the changes? Or do i have to reboot the machine (like I have been doing)

Off list answers welcomed…

It is a very basic implementation of the cron format. It doesn't support commas for multiple times. Use 3 separate lines
pointing to the same macro and it should work fine.
