Avoid 2:00 and 3:00 am cron jobs (2013)

by @endpointdev endpointdev.com 1 min read

A word to the wise: Do not set any cron jobs for 2:00 am or 3:00 am on Sunday morning! Or to be safe, on other mornings besides Sunday as well, since jobs originally set to run on some particular day may eventually be changed to run on another day, or every day.
