Crontab configuration

loopoo · 09-23-2010, 09:22 AM

Hi,

Is there a way to configure a process to be lanched in the "n"th working day?
Let's say n=5. In this case, if the 5th of the month is on Saturday, then the 5th working day will be on Monday so I would like to launch the process on the 7th.
The same when the 5th of the month is on Monday, it means that it's only the 3rd working day, so I would need to launch the process on Wednesday - the 7th of the month.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

The cron entries are as follows:

minute hour day_of_month month day_of_week

Where day_of_week is 0-6 and 0 is Sunday.

Regards,

Alunduil
