Server Script validate only on First Day of a month.

[CKonash]

Hi all. 

I searched and couldn't find what I thought was the correct answer.  I'm trying to have my solution successfully run a scheduled server script on the first day of each month.   I have the server script running and working, now its just time to have it only run once per month on the first day.   If I add the following to an "If" statement at the beginning of the script, does this look right?  

Get ( CurrentDate ) = Date ( Month (Get ( CurrentDate ))-1;0; Year ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) )

Thank you in advance for you time!

No. If you want the script to test if today is the first day of the month, then you should test for:

Day ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) = 1

Thank you so much Comment!  

I'm not sure why I always try to over complicate things.  Your answers are always so simple I feel stupid!! 

Thanks again!

I would be nice if the server schedule would have more of a cron type scheduling.

Scripts that run daily just to see if today is the day I get to run.

In one solution we had so many of these types of server scripts we tossed that all out and run one which goes to a 'scheduler' database iterates the records of other scripts to run if it meets the date criteria.
