Monthly Schedule

Post by Bob Hansen » Wed Apr 06, 2005 5:39 am

I have a client's routine that is scheduled to run at 1am on the 1st of every month.

I now find out that it has been running at 1am at the beinning of every month, without fail, but running on the 2nd of every month instead of the 1st.

Log file goes back to Nov 2003, and this has been occuring every month since then. This is the only time it is run, once a month for some maintenance and report generations.

Script has never been changed, but new versions of Macro Scheduler are installed with every release.

Is this a subtle bug that has gone unnoticed for at least 18 months?
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,

Apparently I can, every month!

Actually, I never tried to reproduce, just saw the results in the logs.

I will try tonight on some other machines using tomorrow's date.
I will also reset calendars to last day of manth and try for the 1st of the month.

I checked my schedules - I'm no longer using that option.

My schedule controller has MacroScript code to check whether it is running for the 1st day of the month. (i.e. code, not scheduling).
