First Monday of the month

Monthly meetings, reviews or reports that belong to the first Monday rather than a fixed date.

Checked with the same parser Bex uses to validate schedules. Next run times are computed in your browser.

Cron expression

minute	0

day of month	1-7
month	*
day of week	*

Watch out for

0 9 1-7 * 1 does not mean the first Monday: when both day fields are restricted cron runs on days 1–7 OR any Monday. Schedule days 1–7 and have the command exit unless it is Monday ([ "$(date +%u)" = 1 ]).
Bex does not set a per-job time zone: the cluster controller's clock decides. Bex's own next-run projection assumes UTC, as shown here.
