Cron can schedule things for Monday or the first of the month but not the
first Monday as you require. What I would do is to schedule a script with
cron to run every Monday at 11PM and if the date was 7 or less, produce the
report, otherwise produce nothing and exit.

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
