> what a freekin nightmare!
Not really.
Is today Sunday? :
`date '+\%a'` = 'Sun'
if it is, check this also ('and'):
-a
Is this an odd or even day?
eg. daynum mod 2
((`date '+\%U'` % 2)) -eq 0
One possible downfall of this is if the current Sunday is the 30th, and the next day is Monday the 31st.
Then the following Sunday is the 6th, and then two Sundays in a row will run.

in
0 1 * * 0 /usr/bin/ksh -c "[ `date '+\%a'` = 'Sun' -a $((`date '+\%U'` \% 2)) -eq 0 ] && /path/myscript.ksh"
This will run myscript.ksh on even Sundays at 1 a.m.
If ?'s, email me direct.
