Is it possible to set the year in the crown?

Question

linux

I have a cron command like this:

00 1 04 01 *wget...

The last asterisk, it turns out, is not a year at all.
It turns out that this command will be executed once a year.
Is it possible, just knowing the date and time, to set a command in cron that will be executed once?

Answer 1

No, you can specify a maximum month in cron.
But you can add a check for the year
00 1 04 01 * [ `date "+%Y"` == "2016" ] && wget...

Answer 2

Is it possible, just knowing the date and time, to set a command in cron that will be executed once?

Are you seriously? Take and execute the command once with your hands.
