We do it by running a cron script every Monday at your time. The first
thing the script does is get the day of the month. If the day of the month
is less then 8 then this is the first Monday of the month.
dayn=`date +%d`
if $dayn > 7 then exit
It is the first day of the month so do my work
Hope this helps

Subject: Question about crontab
I have a need to run a script at 11pm on the first monday of every
month.
I'm a bit confused as to what the crontab entry should look like.
I know what the entry would look like for the first of the month, run a
script on a monday. But not on the first monday of every month.
Am I just confused or is this logical that would need to be put into
the script?
Thanks
