I read from an instruction to schedule a script on the last day of months
The astute reader might be wondering just how you would be able to set a command to execute on the last day of every month because you can’t set the dayofmonth value to cover every month. This problem has plagued Linux and Unix programmers, and has spawned quite a few different solutions. A common method is to add an if-then statement that uses the date command to check if tomorrow’s date is 01:
00 12 * * * if [date +%d -d tomorrow = 01 ] ; then ; command1
How does [date +%d -d tomorrow = 01 ] work,
Is it correct to state then; command1
