Interesting. I had something similar with how to schedule for the last
day of the month (ya, the shell commands are cheating a bit):
vars:
"year" string => execresult("/usr/bin/date +%Y","noshell");
"month" string => execresult("/usr/bin/date +%m","noshell");
"last_day" string => execresult("/usr/bin/cal $(month) $(year) |
grep . | fmt -1 | tail -1","useshell");
classes:
"End_Of_Month" expression => classify("Day$(last_day)");
.
.
.
End_of_Month.Hr23::
So basically at 11:00pm on the last day of the month, it would fire
off. I am thinking something similar might be possible for the last
Saturday.
