Operating Systems Solaris Please help why my Crontab is not running on time? Post 302578444 by methyl on Thursday 1st of December 2011 01:46:02 PM

Lateral thought idea.
1) Create a cron which creates a flag file at 00:01 on the first day of every month.
2) Run your cron every Wednesday but have a wrapper to exit if the flag file does not exist. If the flag file does exist, delete the flag file and run the main process.
