Maybe I don't understand your quesstion, but
0 1 1 * * /backup_slb/backup_cron
would run the job on the first day of the month at 01:00.

Hi Taulant,

what Pete postet is exactly what you need. This will run the job on the first day of every month.

Have a look at man crontab for a understanding what this line means:

0 1 1 * * /backup_slb/backup_cron

this means minute 0 of hour 1 of day 1 of every month whatever weekday it is do /backup_slb/backup_cron.

Or in your words on the first day of every month at 01.00 o'clock.

Hope this helps

Regards Stefan
