cron - do something on the first Saturday of a month

[Boddy Bill - bboddy <bboddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 

 

Hi

 

 

I would like to run a script on the first Saturday of every month.

 

 

Would the following work ?

 

 

1     0     1-7     *     6     command

 

 

 

i.e.  Run the command at 00:01 on every Saturday , as long as it was between the 1st and the 7th of the month.

 

 

Normally , I would test this, but I don't have a box  that I could change the time/date over a short test period.

 

 

 

regards

 

Bill Boddy
