If you have gnu date available (the one used by Linux and sometimes available on other OSes, or you could build it from source) , you could run a script from cron every Friday that does something like: if [ `date -d 'next friday' +%m` -ne `date +%m` ] ; then amdump archiveconfig fi If you don't have gnu date then it gets messy, since you have to figure out if 7 days from now is still this month or next, worrying about the length of the month and whether or not it's a leap year. > I am currently looking at hacking something together as I was just going to > edit the crontab and comment and uncomment between daily and monthly. > > I have a 10 tape run So a 2 week daily schedule but I to implement a monthly > that will run on the last fridat of each month. Make sure your archive config dumptype has 'record no' in it or it will mess up your daily schedule.
