WHAT is "not working"? Any error message? Are you aware that the month and day-of-week date fields are missing in above crontab entry?


And, isn't $((24*1)) an overcomplicated way to express 24?

Hi,

You could try;

Code:
* 9 28-31 * * [ $(date -d +1day +\%d) -eq 1 ] && /usr/bin/bash /u01/app/scripts/CX-eom.sh

Depends how clever the version of date is.

Regards
