Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to setup cronjob 3rd sunday of every month? Post 302922893 by RavinderSingh13 on Wednesday 29th of October 2014 01:05:50 AM

Hello netdbaind,

I agree with vbe's solution like we can run script on each Sunday and check either it is 3rd Sunday or not.
Following code may help you to get the 3rd Sunday with explaination.

Code:
cal | awk 'NR==3 {i=(NF<7)?1:0}NR==(5+i){print $1}'

Logic behind the code is if we need to get any 3rd occurance of a day(Sunday in this case) in a month it should come in 5th line of command cal output, but in case a month's starting day is not Sunday so number of fields NF will be less than 7 then. So by condition NF<7 we are checking the same and assigning a value of variable i. Now if number of fields are less than 7 means 1st day of a month is not Sunday so we need to jump to next line which is 6th line of command cal so we are doing here NR==(5+i) and checking if condition is true and printing it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
R. Singh
