15 18 22-28 * 2 /command

I thought the last tuesday would be covered by above.
But it has run everyday since 22nd.

Have googled a bit:

plus other crontab pages.

15 18 22-28 * * test 'date +\%a' != Tue || /command
Am uncertain if above would work ootb.

man crontab (22 September 2010) doesn't shed light on this.

  From the manual:

       Note: The day of a command's execution can be specified in the  follow‐
       ing two fields — 'day of month', and 'day of week'.  If both fields are
       restricted (i.e., do not contain the "*" character), the  command  will
       be run when either field matches the current time.  For example,
       "30  4  1,15 * 5" would cause a command to be run at 4:30 am on the 1st
       and 15th of each month, plus every Friday.

that was the crontab I used.


That matches your example.


I mean man crontab, didn't give example for 4th m\t\w\.. of month
