Have cron run a script on days 28, 29, 30 and 31 of every month.
Create two variables in the script, one containing today's day of the
month and another containing tomorrow's day of the month:
Code:
TODAY=`date +%d`
TOMORROW=`date +%d -d "1 day"`
# See if tomorrow's day is less than today's
if [ $TOMORROW -lt $TODAY ]; then
echo "This is the last day of the month"
# Do stuff...
fi
