You're right, molonede, "0 0 1-7 * 1 somecommand" will run command on the first 7 days of each month and on every Monday of each month. We all wish it worked the way punter5, but it doesn't. This means that you can't get what you via crontab alone.
This usual solution is something like, first write a wrapper script that will run somecommand only if the day of the month is 7 or less:
Then run the wrapper every Monday: "0 0 * * 1 wrapper".
Morning everyone.
You'll need to excuse me for I'm running a little empty this morning.
Need to execute a job every second Tuesday of the month. Am I correct in my understanding that this isn't possible directly from crontab & hence I'll need to script. Does anyone have any similar solutions ?... (2 Replies)
