Unix Cron Month End Processing
Is it possible to use cron to schedule a job that will run the first 3 Sunday's during a month in addition to the last day of the month?

See this post for a way to handle the first 3 weeks of a month. Then you will need a few explicit lines for the last day of the month.

Re:
Much Thanks Perderabo!! Is it also possible to run 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Sundays of the month and the last day of the month as long as the last day of the month is not a Sunday. Basically wouldn't want the process to run twice on the last day of the month if it was a Sunday.

That is beyond my script. You will need to write your own script similiar to mine that handles your needs.
