These script will execute every month of the first day fully 24 hours or
only one time a day its execute.
It will run repeatedly on the 1st of the month. Probably not something
you intended.
If you want to run something *once* a month, use:
0 0 1 ** user /path/to/script
Alternately you can use this more readable syntax:
@monthly user /path/to/script
See "man 5 crontab" as Arun has suggested.
