You would need to write a shell script to do this, and run the script in the crontab file.

OBTW, if you do a site search (this site) for your search term "creating a cronjob that runs every 3rd business day of the month" you will find a number of prior discussions about this type of setup.

For example, see:

Code:

Please search the forums before asking questions.

Thanks.
