Is there a way to configure a scrip to be run at specific day of the 
moth/year ?
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 $BBSERVERLOGS/avail.ksh.log
        INTERVAL 4320m
bash-3.00$

I think you would be better off doing that via a cron job.   Why the desire
to do it via hobbit?

Hi,

workaround: let it run every day and exit if it isn't the first day of the month

And you can use this ` date +%b ' as the extension of a lock file

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.

Thanks for all the replies,

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