looks like CRON needs a tweak or two, hmm?
what if we propose something like
#min hr monthday month weekday cmd
0 1 1 1 * echo Jan 1 1:00am
#and for the new concepts, which could use tweaking:
0 1 -1 * * echo last-of-every-month, 1:00am
0 1 * * mon-fri echo mon,tue,wed,thu,fri at 1:00am
0 1 * * wed1 echo first wednesday each month, 1am
0 4 * * sun-1 echo last wednesday each month, 4am
hmm?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #16 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Why are *.rpm (RED HAT PACKAGES) considered spawn of Satan?
Because the Debian package system is a lot more sophisticated
than the one Red Hat uses; lots more inter-dependency information
is built in to a *.deb package. If you bypass that with an *.rpm
file, you're taking chances with your system. Try to "apt-get
install <debian-only>" packages if possible. (Also check out the
"alien" package if you must.)
