Citing manual page crontab(5):
Note:  The day of a command's execution can be specified in the follow‐
       ing two fields — 'day of month', and 'day of week'.  If both fields are
       restricted  (i.e.,  do not contain the "*" character), the command will
       be run when either field matches the current time.  For example,
       "30 4 1,15 * 5" would cause a command to be run at 4:30 am on  the  1st
       and 15th of each month, plus every Friday.
