Don't want to invoke job on holiday!

Hey all,

I have a question about cron job, I want to invoke a program to perform some operations
on database, however, this operation should only be invoked working day (weekday + not holiday)
. Scheduling a job on weekday is easy but how about holiday?

Thanks in advance!

I usually put such logic in the scripts, or in a wrapper script to do this.

holiday

hey all, I have set up a cron job which would be invoked at 1:00 am everyday. However, there is really no need to invoke such job if it's a public holiday so I am wondering if anyone have any idea on how to approach this? Thanks in advance!
