Hi 

Wanting to setup a Report to run on the third Monday of every month.
Is there a way to do this?
Any Cron Schedule I try doesn't allow me to commit the change.

Such as: 0 8 * * 1 [ "$(date +\%d -d 'today + 14 days')" -gt 14 ] && [ "$(date +\%u -d 'today + 14 days')" == 1 ] && echo "Run report"

Hi

I think that this is working https://crontab.guru/#00_00_15-21_*_1

1 1 15-21 * 1

3rd Monday is between 15th and 21st day and last day field select it to run only Monday on those days.

Hi @isoutamo 

Seems as though this cron schedule is running every Monday.
It ran last Monday and splunk is showing it will run next Monday.
Even though it should only be running the Monday after that.

In some cron versions it needs that you will change 15-21 to 15,16,17,18,19,20,21.
