But it's not only the first day of the month and only Sunday. It's the first day of the month
or Sunday.
Quote:
Note: The day of a command's execution can be specified by two fields: day of month, and day of week.
If both fields are restricted (ie, aren't *), the command will be run when either field matches the current time.
You will need to add some logic either to your script, or the crontab entry, to get the behaviour you are expecting.
