This will run the job every 28 daze at 1am. If that's not exactly the definition of every 4th week let me know and I'll work something out. Also note that you will have an anomaly at the end of leap years.

Hallo,

anyone who has a good example on how to write in the crontab if you want to schedule a job to run every four week.
Is it possible to do that in unix cron job schedule.

Thanks in advance

Roland
