Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to find second and fourth Monday of the month? Post 302948507 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 30th of June 2015 06:38:04 AM

Are you trying to determine if the script is started on the correct day, i.e. 2nd & 4th Monday only?

If so, start it every day and have a section to test the date at the top similar to this:-
Code:
date '+%d %w'|read dayofmonth dayofweek
((weekofmonth=1+$dayofmonth/7))

if [ $dayofweek -ne 1 -o \( $weekofmonth -ne 2 -a $weekofmonth -ne 4 \) ]
then
   printf "Not running today.\n"
   exit 0
fi

# Now able to run main script

Apologies if I have missed the point, but I hope that this helps.
