I doubt cron will be versatile enough to schedule like this - even linux versions, but it could quite easily just call the script every day, and then you can provide the logic in the script to only run the required functionality if it meets the working day requirement.

Perhaps this would help..

fwb_compile_all(1)						 Firewall Builder						fwb_compile_all(1)

NAME

       fwb_compile_all - Wrapper script that compiles policies for multiple firewall objects

SYNOPSIS

       fwb_compile_all -ffile.xml [-dwdir] [-av] [obj[ obj ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       fwb_compile_all is a wrapper script that compiles policies for several firewall objects in one batch job. This script takes a list of fire-
       wall object names on the command line (or '-a' command line option, see below) and calls policy compiler for each one. The script correctly
       determines which policy compiler is needed depending on the firewall platform of each object.

OPTIONS

       -a     The script processes all firewall objects in the "/Firewalls" subtree.

       -d wdir
	      Specify  working directory.  Compiler creates file with iptables script in this directory.  If this parameter is missing, then ipta-
	      bles script will be placed in the current working directory.

       -f FILE
	      Specify the name of the data file to be processed.

       -v     Script passes this option to the compiler, this makes it print diagnostic messages indicating its progress.
