You can do it in NMC by turning calendar mode off and using the override in 
non-calendar format; alternatively you can achieve the same via nsradmin:

nsradmin> create type: NSR schedule; action: skip; name: Last Day; override: 
full last day every month
                        type: NSR schedule;
                        name: Last Day;
                      action: skip;
                    override: full last day every month;
Create? y


That'll skip every day of the month except the final day.

The only thing to be careful of is if the last day of the month is the day that 
a daylight savings transition happens, you *might*, depending on your timezone, 
have the override appear on the wrong day just on that month. (This seems to 
happen in timezones that are GMT +- 6/12.)

Cheers,

Preston.
