This is a special case to me. IMHO special cases have to be handled
special or much better: avoid it.
Sorry, I don't get this. How do you avoid this situation? By not
having any monthly jobs?
No, monthly jobs are fine, but you mentioned a special case as the host
is may be off at that time. Perhaps you can do: run all jobs which
didn't run because the host was off at next startup once. fcron has such
an option. Depending on the exact situation it could require additional
configuration/checks.
The decision what have to be done MUST be made by the user/sysadmin
first. Than you can do the config to reach your goal. But that does go
to far now.
