I need to run the script in every month first Sunday and last Sunday how to schedule in crontab

[Dennis Handly]

In crontab you schedule it EVERY Sunday and in the script you just return if the date isn't in the first or last Sunday range.

Well, there is one advantage here in that you can check for Sunday in crontab but in the other example it was for everyday except for a few Saturdays.

And since you're dealing with "last", you need to know how many days in each month.
