I'm trying to set up a cron to compress my RADIUS log files every month. I wanted to start the cron at 11:59 on the last day of the month. But, I can't figure out if cron will recognize a date of 31 in a 30 day month or if there is another way to start the cron. Hmmm... I could run it at 1 minute after midnight the next day, but how do I get "date" to return the name of the previous month? Thanks for any help! I'm kinda new at the shellscript stuff. Eddie
