cron combines days with dates, using or logic rather than and.
The short answer is this: Have it run every Saturday, then have your script check if the date is 8-14.

It depends that on which date "Second Saturday" comes in a particular month. Make a cron job entry with following parameters : 00 23 ? * 6 This is at 00 minutes of hour 23 on Saturday Every Month execute the script. But ? denotes "Which Day of the Month" : this varies and as I said earlier "It depends that on which date 'Second Saturday' comes in a particular month." Either you program it OR Fix the day of the month as 14th day of the month. Then cron entry will be : 00 23 14 * 6 Hope you got what I am trying to convey. Thanks. Varun

cron uses or logic regarding dates and days. Therefore, the above suggestion will run the job at 11:00pm, every day from the 8th to the 14th, as well as every Saturday.
