I'll make this short... Is there any good way to get the day number that first matches the Monday column from the cal command output with awk (or any other text manipulator commands) ?
Now, what I really need to get is the number of the first Monday in the month (I might also need, for example, the 3rd number of the Friday column, or any other number related to day that I need from that output).... In this case that would be the 7. I cannot think of anything since I have to consider that Monday might also be 1 or 2 in the 3rd line.....
Any idea?? I need this in order to setup a backup script for crontab, since as you know crontab is a little bit dumb.... but that doesn't matter.
Any help will be appreciated, thank you all in advance

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
