Is there a way in AIX to schedule a script to run bi-weekly through cron?
I have a script that needs to run every other Wednesday, and this is what I thought I had to enter in the crontab file:
Code:
00 08 * * 3/2 /home/user/user.script
It didn't like that. It reports a syntax error. I'm almost positive that in Linux and/or Solaris something like that will work, or I may be totally off....
Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD
weekly
WEEKLY(5) BSD File Formats Manual WEEKLY(5)NAME
weekly, weekly.conf -- weekly maintenance
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/weekly script is run, by default, every Saturday morning on a NetBSD system. The /etc/weekly.conf file specifies which of the stan-
dard weekly services are performed.
The variables described below can be set to ``YES'' or ``NO'' in the /etc/weekly.conf file. The default settings are in the
/etc/defaults/weekly.conf file. (Note that you should never edit /etc/defaults/weekly.conf directly, as it is often replaced during system
upgrades.)
rebuild_locatedb This rebuilds the locate(1) database, /var/db/locate.database, which must also exist, in order to be rebuilt.
rebuild_mandb This rebuilds the apropos(1) database /var/db/man.db, using makemandb(8) with the -f option.
rebuild_whatisdb This rebuilds the whatis(1) database(s). Note that NetBSD provides a default whatis.db for the system manual pages and
this may not be needed. (Adjust your /etc/man.conf as necessary; see man.conf(5) for details.)
