cron question

moe2266 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-18-2007

folks;
This might sounds stupid, but i tried few ways to solve it without luck.
I need to run a job on the first Saturday of every month at 10 pm. so far i'm not sure what am i doing wrong, but every time i set it, it always run every Saturday instead of the first Saturday of every month.

Any help would be great.

Code:

0 10 1-7 * 6

That will run on the first seven days of each month and on every Saturday. This is discussed in the FAQ article on cron and that article has a link to a thread with one solution. This is why we wish folks would read the FAQ's.

And I already mentioned that this is discussed in the FAQ.
