Running a cron job for the last day of the month

Hello,

I would like to run a script on the last day of the month, preferably at
23:59 hours. The problem that I am seeing is that each month has a
slightly different last day IE: (28/29, 30, or 31) I can see how I can
run the report for the first day of the month, which works fine, but it
names all the directories/files for the following month, rather than the
month the report data comes from.

I use the:

#!/bin/sh
date=`/bin/date -d now '+%b'`

to set the date to name the files/directories.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Mike
