Given that you're running this on a MacBook Pro, which IIRC you're
always logged into, it sounds as though the easiest solution is the
earlier one of triggering the script from iCal. That will cope with the
'first of the month' requirement.

I accept that, and failing all else I shall use it. I am, however, quite
partial to doing things the *nix way (hence my using slrn). I'm also
both a glutton for punishment, and one who enjoys the challenge of
something new. :)

So I'm gonna bash away a bit more at the cron/anacron solution now that
Steve has explained how it would work.
