NEWBIE: cron



Hi,
I am new to cron tasks and I can not find out how I can run a task every
minute. I have now this line in /etc/crontab:
# m h dom mon dow user	command
1 0 * * * 	root	date >> /home/dating

This should export the date every minute to /home/dating, but it does not
seem to work.
And what do dom, mon  and dow mean? I guess 'do monthly' and 'do weekly',
but the middle one does not make sense to me.

Thanks,
Sebastiaan
