Re: Crontab - Ooops

Charlie,

Some days are like that. You're right. Mike Hand had the right idea when he wrote:

.......... 2 choices are

MM HH 22-28 * * (shell script checks for Sunday before proceeding)

        OR
MM HH * * 0 (shell script checks for day of month between 22 and 28 before
proceeding)
