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:
Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh
day=$(date +%d)
if ((day <= 7)) ; then
exec somecommand
fi
exit 1
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)

nnstats
NNSTATS(1m)NNSTATS(1m)NAME
nnstats - display nnmaster collection and expire statistics
SYNOPSIS
nnstats [ -lt ] [ -d month day ] [ -m month ] [ logfile ]...
DESCRIPTION
nnstats will extract the collection (C) and expiration (X) entries from the log file and calculate total and average number of articles,
groups and elapsed time per day, per month, or for the duration of the whole log file.
Normally only a summary for the specified period is printed. If -l is specified, the statistics for each day in the period is also
printed, and if -t is specified the summary is not printed.
Normally the statistics is collected for all days in the log files (or the current log file if one is not specified).
If "-m month" is specified, the statistics for that month is calculated. The month is specified in normal date notation, i.e. a capital-
ized three letter abbreviation like Jan, Feb, ...
If "-d month day" is specified, the statistics for that date only is calculated and printed.
FILES
../Log The log file
SEE ALSO nn(1), nnusage(1M), nnadmin(1M), nnmaster(8)NOTES
If nnmaster is run with options -LCX, nnstats will not work, because the necessary entries are not written to the log file.
