Right, but the date rolled over, and binkley recreates .day and adjust 

.scd, I believe.  

You've rolled over the date.  Therefore, it knows nothing about did or 

*didn't* run 23:59 event. 

Things are working properly.  It didn't run because at the time the freq 

finished,

it was already the next day, probably 00:whatever.  So, binkley ran the 

first event of the day, and went on about its business.  

If you don't want your 23:59event missed, move your other event to 23:59 

for end time,

and start your forced maint event at 00:00, and it'll run no matter what.  



Regards,



Richard
