Can't a monday be the 7th day of a week?

Hi,

according to my man pages lgarner's solution will run the script the first 6 days of each month and on every Monday.
Afaik you cannot do what you want just by specifying dates in crontab.
But you could run a script every Monday, which first checks whether the day is greater than 7. If so, exit; otherwise execute your code.
