title: How to schedule a cron for the first Thursday of every month
body: <p>I need to schedule a cron job to run at 3:00 PM on the first Thursday of every month. How can I do this?
  I have read another topic similar to this, but it is for the first Sunday of every month. How do I modify this to suit my needs? Please do not refer me to any manuals as they are of no help to me. This is why I am asking the question here.</p>
  
  <p>Every first Sunday of very month</p>
  
  <pre><code>00 09 * * 7 [ $(date +\%d) -le 07 ] &amp;&amp; /run/your/script
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>A simple answer should do here, I'm just don't know what the <code>-le 07</code> stands for.</p>
  
  <p>So the 4 is Thursday, What is the <code>-le 07</code> in the cron?</p>
  
  <p>is it a check for the first 7th day (Sunday) of the month?</p>
  
  <p><code>00 15 * * 4 [ $(date +\%d) -le 07 ] &amp;&amp; /run/your/script</code> </p>
  
  <p>Or should it be this one?</p>
  
  <p>Assuming this would be a check for the first 4th Day (Thursday) of the month?</p>
  
  <p><code>00 15 * * 4 [ $(date +\%d) -le 04 ] &amp;&amp; /run/your/script</code> </p>
  
  <p>Since English isn't my mother tongue, I hope this is as clear as possible for you guys.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
