Oops, I missed that part... you are right.
Guess the date check will have to be out of cron...
In case the even/odd week of the year does not work (I am not sure all months
will start on odd weeks; do they?), here's another try:
0 0 * * 6 [ $((`date +"%d"`%14)) -ge 8 ] && script.sh
Would that work?
