Dear All

In UNIX, how do I schedule the job every month first weekend (Either
Saturday or Sunday) through crontab..?


Thanks & Regards

We had a discussion on this a few months ago. You may want to check out
this thread:

The key thing on CRON is that the schedule fields such as day of month
and day of week are set up as OR options not exclusive ANDs. So if you
try to run a job on the first Sunday of the month and decide that the
first sunday will by between day 1 and day 7, you will end up running a
job every day 1 thru 7 as well as every sunday.

To get around this, write a "wrapper" job that checks if today is the
first weekend of the month, then call your scheduled script or program.
