Definitely untested! You need to escape the "%" sign, since it is special
to cron. Plus, you need to prevent the date command from padding its
output with a leading zero, since that would result in the illegal octal
numbers 08 and 09:
15 04 * * 6 test $(date +"\%_d") -le 7 && /home/app/oracle/backup/monthlybk.sh
