Well ... it's working now. It seems that there is a delay with |
| 10 |
registering the crontab change until the next minute at one second |
| 11 |
after. All my tests were being done for the upcoming minute. A few |
| 12 |
minutes after sending that last email, the message came ... I altered my |
| 13 |
crontab and now my other jobs are working as well. |

Oddly, on my FreeBSD machine, crontab changes take effect immediately |
| 16 |
(changes two seconds before will still trigger the job to run). |
