Cron - First Saturday of the month

[Barry Shein]

Just run a little wrapper (a shell script would do) every night that
has your own rules for whether or not the real program should run
today. Here's a start (very generic, SYSV date can simplify this of
course):

	#!/bin/sh
	DOW=`date|awk '{ print $1 }`
	DOM=`date|awk '{ print $3 }`

	if [ "$DOW" = "Sat" -a "$DOM" -le "7" ]
	then
		DOIT
	else
		exit 0
	fi

something like that anyhow, -le 7 is probably faulty, but that's not
the point, this is advice, not custom programming.
