Hi,

As i see, cron runs application if it was scheduled
at exactly that minute when it is started.
I cannot say that this is right behavior

exactly – what was wrote :slight_smile:
i.e.
if crondtab contains
41 * * * * (date) > /tmp/date.log

and if cron starts e.g. at 12.41.30 then above
date command will executed immediately.
