Hi Guys,

I am trying to use cronplus to send a "reset" command on the last day of every month at 23h59.30 ,,, I just cant seem to get the syntax right for the day of month considering it could be 28/29/30 or 31...

Any help would be appreciated!

Would 30 second later, at 00:00 on the first day of the month do instead?

Otherwise, I googled for  
cron last day of month  
and the first hit was [automation - CRON job to run on the last day of the month - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6139189/cron-job-to-run-on-the-last-day-of-the-month) which might be useful, though it does it allways on 28th Feb even if it is a leap year.  
There may be other hits on that search which help.

Docs state that the "L" can be used for last  
`30 59 23 L * *`

Never used so can't tell if it works.
