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" [email protected] 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).
