<cough> Ah, no...no downfall on 28/30/31 day month thingy. Do a man page
on date, in the "see also" section it say to look at strftime, doing a man
page on strftime you will see that the %U format is defined as:
%U Week number of year as a decimal number [00,53], with
Sunday as the first day of week 1.
So this will run it on Sundays for the even "weeks" of the year. Not
perfect because of the 53 week year cycle, but hey, the advice was free.

Not really.
Is today Sunday? :
`date '+\%a'` = 'Sun'
if it is, check this also ('and'):
-a
Is this an odd or even day?
eg. daynum mod 2
((`date '+\%U'` % 2)) -eq 0
One possible downfall of this is if the current Sunday is the 30th,
and the next day is Monday the 31st.
Then the following Sunday is the 6th, and then two Sundays
in a row will run.

This will run myscript.ksh on even Sundays at 1 a.m.
