Hi, as suggested by Kern here is the feature request, the summary may be a
little inaccurate as it just describes one scenario but, to get it all short
I've chosen this one
Item 26: Possibilty to schedule Jobs on last Friday of the month
Origin: Carsten Menke <bootsy52 at gmx dot net>
Date: 02 March 2008
Status:
What: Currently if you want to run your monthly Backups on the last
Friday of each month this is only possible with workarounds (e.g
scripting) (As some months got 4 Fridays and some got 5 Fridays)
The same is true if you plan to run your yearly Backups on the last
Friday of the year. It would be nice to have the ability to use the builtin
scheduler for this.
Why: In many companies the last working day of the week is Friday (or
Saturday), so to get the most data of the month onto the monthly tape, the
employees are advised to insert the tape for the monthly backups on the last
friday of the month.
Notes: To give this a complete functionality it would be nice if the
"first"
and "last" Keywords could be implemented in the scheduler, so it is also
possible to run monthy backups at the first friday of the month and many things
more. So if the syntax would expand to this {first|last}
{Month|Week|Day|Mo-Fri}
of the {Year|Month|Week} you would be able to run really flexible jobs.
To got a certain Job run on the last Friday of the Month for example one could
then write
Run = pool=Monthly last Fri of the Month at 23:50
## Yearly Backup
Run = pool=Yearly last Fri of the Year at 23:50
## Certain Jobs the last Week of a Month
Run = pool=LastWeek last Week of the Month at 23:50
## Monthly Backup on the last day of the month
Run = pool=Monthly last Day of the Month at 23:50
