I would like to run a program at 2:35 at the first Saturday of each odd month.

My solution:

35 2 1-7 1,3,5,7,9,11 6 /bin/program

The program was executed yesterday = Wednesday = day 3,  cron ignores the day of the week!

Is there a solution with cron – or have I to write a script to check the date?
