Hi,
Sorry actually i need example for this,that you have provided information is not enough.

Thanks
Krupa

Every week

0 0 * * 0 byweeklyreport.sh

Depending on the OS you are using, you may have a cron setup that works for every two weeks, but by using the date command in your script you could schedule it weekly and they choose whether to actually execute or not.

On many flavours of unix, you may find that

date +%j

$ crontab -e
0 4 * * 1 /home/myuser/myscript

#!/bin/ksh

juldate=`date +%j`
((jultest=$juldate/2))
((jultest=$juldate*2))

if [ $juldate -ne $jultest ]
then
   print "This is an odd week of the year."
   print "No actions performed."
   exit
fi

# I have confirmed it is an even numbered Monday, so proceed

blah blah blah.......

Had you taken the time to read that man page, you would have found an example exactly dealing with and solving your problem.

Hi,
Actually my Requirement is like this :-
I have shell script in kern shell ,have to run alternate week per month
example-today's date is 27 Mar 2013 and my script will run today then for the next time when it will run it should check 1st what was the last run date(27 Mar 2013) if it is matched 15days from current date then run else sent a mail with waning mgs.

i have a AWK command it is checking only within a month
Code:

date +%Y:%m:%d|awk -vFS=":" -vOFS=":" '{$3=$3-3;print}'
