Day [x] of every [y] month:

x can be any value from 1 to 31. This value determines the day of the month on which the job occurs.

y can be any value from 1 to 99. This value determines the monthly interval — for example, every two months sets the job to run every other month.

f can be either: first, second, third, fourth or last.

d can be: weekday, weekend day, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
