No, really. We went over this. You don't have to modify your scripts.
You can put the "test" in the crontab. John's example should work
properly:
15 04 * * 6 test $(date +"%d") -le 07 &&
/home/app/oracle/backup/monthlybk.sh
Cron will run those commands every Saturday. On the first Saturday in
the month, "test" will succeed and the script will be run.
