prevent the execution of a job at the last sunday of a month

I would like to know if there a way to prevent the execution of a job at a specific day?
For example, a job which runs every day of every month. But I would like to stop it the last Sunday of each month.

it is a little bit tricky to prevent the execution of a job at the last Sunday of the month, but it works:
_{{
<source>
<run_time>
<weekdays>
<day day="1 2 3 4 5 6">
<period single_start="13:00"/>
</day>
</weekdays>
<monthdays>
<weekday day="7" which="-1">
<period single_start="13:00"/>
</weekday>
<weekday day="7" which="-2">
<period single_start="13:00" when_holiday="ignore_holiday"/>
</weekday>
<weekday day="7" which="-3">
<period single_start="13:00" when_holiday="ignore_holiday"/>
</weekday>
<weekday day="7" which="-4">
<period single_start="13:00" when_holiday="ignore_holiday"/>
</weekday>
</monthdays>
<holidays>
<weekdays>
<day day="7"/>
</weekdays>
</holidays>
</run_time>
</source>

_How can I stop a job for a specific period which is not defined previously?

Example: my job is a daily job. But tomorrow I have a maintenance on the machine. So I would like to stop one chain or all the chain.''

To prevent the execution of a job at a specific (not predefined) day you can define a holidays file and include
it into your job(s) with
{{
<source>
<holidays>
<include live_file="/holiday.xml"/>
</holidays>
</source>
}}
If it is necessary to define a day for maintenance you have to put it into holiday.xml and it would take effect for all jobs using this file via live_file="/holiday.xml" (caution: you have to restart the scheduler if you have changed holiday.xml).
