Hi! Darryl,

It's been a while since I poked at these things...  I'd say that that would go
off at 0600hrs every day, like once only.  What you need is "0 */6", I think. 
It should then go off at: 0000, 0600, 1200. and, 1800hrs.

Did that help?

Cheers,
Paul.

... It beeped and said "Countdown initiated".  Is that bad?
