every weekday Schedule

We just got a bug report that the schedule “every weekday” doesn’t act as what one expects. It checks for “pings” at the start of the day, from Monday to Friday. It should instead check for “pings” at the end of the day. Other schedules also have this issue.

We are now working on fixing this issue and the fix will be part of our next deployment. As a temporary work around, please use the “by” feature, so something like “by 10:00 PM every weekday”.

Let us know if you have any question or comments.

Make sure your whole system is running smoothly.

Processes that run regularly in the background are often unmonitored or send emails regardless of success or failure. This makes it hard for you to notice when things go wrong. Make sure your servers are up, even if they are not accessible from the internet. Make sure your cron jobs or scheduled tasks run on time. Make sure your backup scripts are running as expected. Make sure your hourly scripts are running continuously. Get notified when they don't.

Making sure that the different parts of your system is running fine is easy to do. Just create a PushMon URL and call that URL on the schedule you specify. If we don't hear from you, you will hear from us. We have sample code to get you started quickly.
