Yep, you got it: Timed event at :59:50 (legal ID). I use that to keep
the system on time during music on hard drive hours, but I use that same
timed event all day long.
Is it better to have the ID at the beginning of the hour instead?
RDAirplay doesn't crash. Again just to reiterate-It loads and plays
Mondays long on Sunday (because Saturday's log is short). Once it gets
to the end of Sundays, it just stops with nothing queued up, and no log
loaded.

Part of this craziness is normal. What is likely happening is that
when the Saturday log runs out, it automatically loads the Sunday log
and proceeds to play from the top (12 am), but then you likely have a
"hard timed" event somewhere between 11:45 and 12:00am where it then
will jump to the end of Sunday's log before midnight. Once there it
then will hit the command to load Monday's log. All this happens in
the 15 minutes or so that you are short on Saturday's log.
The solution we use for this is to always make sure the last hour of
each days log is well "over stuffed" with filler (in our case extra
music) that normally will be skipped over except for when something
goes wrong and the log comes up short.
Now the part that has me interested as it might help our chronic
problem: When you say when Monday's log and does a "screeching halt",
what do you mean? Does rdairplay crash? (like in our case) or does a
log simply not load (as in no new events are cued up), or what?
In our case about 20% of the time when transitioning from one day's
log to another, rdairplay crashes. Since the daemons caed, and ripcd
are still running, I have a silence sense system that detects this and
restarts rdairplay and starts it playing again. Thus all is fine again
except for about 15 seconds of dead air just after midnight. I've had
this problem forever, and on multiple machines (but running the same
database image) and have never figured out what the pattern might be.

[RDD] Log transition issue
Do to them not filling these traffic breaks, Sat's log has been ending
early (around 11:45p). It does load Sundays log. However, sometime
shortly there after (midnight perhaps), it loads MONDAYS log, and runs
in on Sunday. Yes, you figure someone would be listening to the station
to catch this...sigh...I digress...
Anyway, so at the end of the say on Sunday it tries to load Monday's
log, which is the log it has been currently running, and the system
comes to a screeching halt.
