Quick bit of help with cronplus

General
1

And it is a great node!

I am wanting to make a schedule for (example) the LAST day of the month.

I know of the L option for Last.... But not exactly how to apply it here.

There is an example for the Last Monday of the month.
But not the last DAY of the month.

I also may need one for the SECOND LAST day. But for now Last - I hope - suffices.

Not at computer so cannot test but what does 0 12 L * * show you in the tooltip?

Thanks.

The help showed me 0 12 * * MONL for 12 oclock last monday of month.

So I'll give your way a try.

Steve, you're a champion!

Ok, I have an "older" version but the help is a bit confusing.
(Not expecting you to fix it. Just explaining why/how I got stuck.)

Or did I get confused with the day of the week option being included?

There is no syntax such as L-1 for the second last day of the month.

You should be able to use a dynamic schedule to achieve this but it's almost certainly simpler to define a schedule that fires on the 27th to 30th of each month and using a function node downstream to test if today is actually the penultimate day.
