No, really.  We went over this.  You don't have to modify your scripts. 
  You can put the "test" in the crontab.  John's example should work 
properly:

15 04 * * 6    test $(date +"%d") -le 07 && 
/home/app/oracle/backup/monthlybk.sh

Cron will run those commands every Saturday.  On the first Saturday in 
the month, "test" will succeed and the script will be run.
