The HTML document describing my RxServer package (that includes an improved
VMUTIL server) explains how WAKEUP works with its WAKEUP file. We also
explain problems of scheduled events that can be missed when a running task
brings VMUTIL into the next day.
open the RxSERVER HTM file and search
If VMUTIL misses processing a timed entry (because VMUTIL isn't
running), will is just run it again as soon as VMUTIL comes back up or
will it wait until the next timed occurance?
For instance, if an event is scheduled for each day at 6PM and VMUTIL is
down Wednesday at 6PM, but comes up
VMUTIL works on both date and time.
If you have an event scheduled for 18:00:00 and VMUTIL is not running
then the event will run as soon as VMUTIL comes back up because he
knows that event was missed.
In your, example VMUTIL would run the event would run at 8am Thursday.
What I don't know is
So is the solution to change the timestamp to the last properly
scheduled time? In my example, change the timestamp to 6PM Wednesday,
so that it gets scheduled correctly at 6PM Thursday? Assuming I don't
want it run off-schedule and skipping it is OK.

Yes, that's what I would do.
Sometime I want to run an event that is already run so I edit the file
and change the date to the previous day and then restart VMUTIL. The
event will run as soon as VMUTIL comes up.
