Based on this idea, this weekend I finally remembered to create a cron task for wunderfixer. The timing looks like 5 */11 * * *... which I intended to mean run at hours divisible by 11: 11:05 and 22:05. I was surprised to see it also run at 12:05 AM. I was writing and ask if anyone knew why I was getting this bonus run, when it struck me that midnight is 0:00. And 0 is also evenly divisible by 11! LOL, there is always some gotcha.
Thanks for the idea! It is very helpful especially now that my cablemodem is dying daily and I have hours of time off-network. My new modem is coming today, but I highly doubt I will ever see a day go by without wunderfixer filling in the gaps.
