I'd like to run rsnapshot daily, weekly, and four-weekly (as opposed to
monthly, which would happen after either four or five weekly runs).
Is there a way to get cron to run a job four-weekly? Google hasn't been
any help.
Someone suggested
30 3 * * Fri/4 rsnapshot-script...
but that runs every Friday, not every four Fridays (at least it does on
Debian).
The nearest I've managed is
30 3 8-14 * Fri rsnapshot-script...
which should run on the second Friday of the month (i.e. any Friday
between the 8th and 14th of the month). At least I can be sure that
runs on Friday, and not a different day of the week every month.
Are there any clever tricks that I've missed?
cheers
Chris
