[ProgSoc] Crontab syntax question

[Pramod Korathota <bug@nospam.progsoc.uts.edu.au>]

Hi all,

A quick question on crontab syntax.. I need to run a 
command on the first friday of every month. I've gone
through the crontab(8) and crontab(5) man pages,
but the best I've got to is :

0 8 1-7	* 5 <user> <command>

Which seems to do a logical OR and execute the
command on the first seven days as well as on
friday..

Is there a way to make that into a logical AND
so I can get it to do what I want (or is there
a different syntax for what I need?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Pramod,
