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.?
There is always the lowly 'at' command. Setup and maintenance would be a pain as you would not easily be able to create a configuration that would run in perpetuity. But perhaps you could write a script to generate each months 'at' schedule and run that with cron.
If you control the scripts that are being run, perhaps you could run them on a regular schedule and program them with the logic needed to decide whether or not they should do anything.
