I see the change to appending "true" has been applied to the script, however 
it still produces the following "confusing" output.

date: invalid date `1:32'
date: invalid date `@'
touch: invalid date format `'

I believe removing the "--cron" check and option entirely may be the correct 
solution.

Vixie cron correctly handles scheduling of tasks during daylight saving 
transitions*.

Is this a feature that was added to work around former bugs in vixie cron? As 
it use to run jobs twice in the transition out of daylight saving but this is 
long fixed.

I've modified our machine that does this now runs it outside the period when 
Daylight saving (Summer time we call it here) transition takes place so is no 
longer an issue here till they change when Daylight saving transition takes 
place again.

* There could be an issue with multiple servers running jobs at the same time 
at the end of a step forward into daylight saving however I don't think by 
default apticron does anything except check local state of the machine.
