Hello,

Sorry if this is inappropriate for this list, but this list seems to
have all the smart people on it, and I'm trying to do this on a FreeBSD
machine.

What I'd like to do is set up a cron task that runs on either the first
or last Sunday of every month.  As an experiment, I've got:

0       14      *       *       0/4     root    mail -s "cron test" root

This seems to be frustratingly close, but it leaves me guessing which
Sunday it will run on, and it hasn't been in long enough to run yet.

Comments, suggestions, and violent cries to RTFM are all appreciated.

Thanks,
-Shawn Carey
