How can I create a cron job that runs a task every three weeks?
- by itj
I have a task that needs to be performed on my project schedule (3 weeks).
I'm able to set up cron to do this every week, or (for example) on the 3rd week of every month - but can't find a way to do this every three weeks.
I could hack the script to create temporary files (or similar) so it could work out it was the third time it has been run - but this solution smells.
Can it be done in a clean way?
