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
