Hi John , the same thread had this too : )
"Note: The day of a command's execution can be specified by two fields -- day of month, and day of week. If both fields are restricted (ie, aren't *), the command will be run when _either_ field matches the current time. For example, ``30 4 1,15 * 5'' would cause a command to be run at 4:30 am on the 1st and 15th of each month, plus every Friday."
So the example below would run every Saturday plus 8th-14th of the month, not what you want.
A quick search of Google gives you something better, like this:
0 1 8-14 * * [ "$(date +\%a)" == "Sat" ] && script_with_no_date_logic
Regards,
Prem.
