Re: [CentOS] Cron on certain days?

Is it possible for me to schedule cron to say run script A on the first Friday of the month, script B on the second Friday of the month, script C, etc.?

Yes. You just need to specify the "day of the week" and a "day of the month" with a range that can only happen for the first occurrence of the particular day in question:

00 12 1-7 * Fri command-for-first-friday-of-month 00 12 8-14 * Fri command-for-second-friday-of-month

Remember, cron must match *ALL* date/time specifiers.

I have not tested this, so it may not work as advertised.
