RUN ON LAST SUNDAY 
If you want a job to run on the last
 sunday of every month, you can use
 the following syntax from within cron:
 
 18 * * * 0 [`date "+%d"` -gt 24] && /path/to/script
 
 i.e. on sundays at 18:00 check if
 the day of the month is greater than
 24 - if so run the job (if 23 is
 specified the job will run on the last
 2 sundays of the month)
 
 NOTE: There back-ticks around the date
 command, not single quotes.
