Public bug reported:
here is my crontab:
45 5 * * 1-5 pkill -f flash
48 6 * * 1-5 musicalarm
50 9 * * 1-5 mpc random off
30 7 5 2 5 echo -e "I'm not coming in today.\n\nHave a good
one!" | mail -s "No pikupordropov needed" em...@example.com
Obviously I have changed the email a bit, but it gives you an idea. The
email got sent today, even though it is clearly not the 5th of February.
Something similar happened a couple days ago (another command that was
scheduled for that day, but earlier in the month).
