Thanks for all the replies,

I like the idea of adding the checking 1st day of the month algorithm into 
the script.

like cronjob or at command.

I have a metric script that need to be run at first day of each
month.Following
example is not really what I need.

[metrics]
        ENVFILE /etc/opt/hobbitserver42/hobbitserver.cfg
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/metrics/avail.ksh
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/avail.ksh.log
        INTERVAL 4320m


Why not run it out of cron, in the same way you might test a script:

    bbcmd $BBHOME/ext/metrics/avail.ksh

That'll set up the environment for you as if Hobbit were running it.
