I can think of a way to do it. Create a script that determines the last Friday of the month (there must be something in Perl, Python, or some other language). Invoke that script from the job with the RunBefore. Schedule the job for the 4th or 5th Friday of the month. In the script, if the date is not the last Friday of the month, abort and the job will not be run. see also http://unix.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical- functional/shellscript-l/how-to-schedule-a-job-on-last-friday-1146391 The above script might help you.
