I'm trying to use cron to run a script on the first Sunday of every
month at 0930. I used this entry in the crontab:
# Run 1st Sunday at 0930 - Fulls
30 9 1-7 * 7 /usr/local/scripts/backup_bootstrap.sh
Yet this script just ran on Thursday, December 6 at 0930. Why? I just
added it to cron so I don't know if it will run on any other days.
See crontab(5), which says:
Note: The day of a command's execution can be specified by two fields --
day of month, and day of week. If both fields are restricted (ie, are
not *), the command will be run when either field matches the current
time. For example, ``30 4 1,15 * 5'' would cause a command to be run at
4:30 am on the 1st and 15th of each month, plus every Friday.
