CPU & Memory crontab schedule - first thursday of every month

Instead of the first five fields, one of eight special strings may appear:

string meaning
------ -------
@reboot Run once, at startup.
@yearly Run once a year, "0 0 1 1 *".
@annually (same as @yearly)
@monthly Run once a month, "0 0 1 * *".
@weekly Run once a week, "0 0 * * 0".
@daily Run once a day, "0 0 * * *".
@midnight (same as @daily)
@hourly Run once an hour, "0 * * * *".

==================

so based on above


0 0 * 1-12 4 <<< this cron schedule will run at midnight each month on thursday? or will this trigger every thursday every month??
