How to chedule a cron-task on a desktop?
Every crontab command require as mandatory the minute, hour and day fields. Now supposing I just want that a certain script or command should be executed once every 3 months on my desktop. AFAIK crontab command and file was born to run on servers which ones are up and running 24/24h while I'm not sure that my desktop in 3 months by now will be up and running in a certain minute/hour/day.
