About This Schedule
The cron expression 0 0 1-7 * 1 targets the first Monday of every month. It works by combining two conditions: the day must be between 1 and 7 (first week of the month), and it must be Monday (1).
Important: In standard cron, when both day-of-month and day-of-week are restricted, the job runs when either condition is true (OR logic). This means the expression above would actually run on days 1-7 AND every Monday. To get true "first Monday only" behavior, use a script wrapper:
0 0 1-7 * * [ "$(date +\%u)" = "1" ] && /path/to/commandSome extended cron implementations (like Quartz) support the # modifier: 0 0 ? * 2#1 means "first Monday of the month."
