Submiting a batch job to run automatically every 32 days

I have a script I’m trying to have execute every 32 days but can’t get the “/after=“ syntax correct.

Have you tried /after="+32-"

   A potential problem with that simple scheme is that it can drift.
That is, gives you 32 days from _now_, which is not 32 days from the
previous run time.  More fiddling might be required to get a run at,
say, 04:00, every 32 days.
