when you have multiple commands on a line with && between them, it
executes them sequentially as long as none of them fail, IOW so long
as they return 0. the [ ... ] is the 'test' command and it tests the
statement inside the brackets and returns a 0 if the statement is
true. if its false (i.e. `date -d tomorrow +%d` is '02') then it will
return a 1 and the whole statement will fail.
Damn, so this is just a cheat, as the actual command is
[ `date -d tomorrow +%d` -eq '01' ] && /the/script
and it will be executed every day..
