Missing Scheduled Events

[George Handley]

Hi James,

The half-dozen or so events that went missing had nothing to do with the DST time change as far as I can see. 

They were all permanently scheduled events that have been running for months or even years.

Two of them had to do with the a daily sunrise/sunset pseudo flag unit. Two others had to do with turning on and off Arthur at 9 AM each day and shutting him down at 9:30 PM each night.

I can't remember the last two right now but that's more information that I gave you before and I hope that is helpful.

Thanks,

George

The events system is some of the oldest and best tested code in the program and so It’s my immediately inclination to suggest thats impossible and that something else must be going on ;) But it’s still absolutely possible you’ve found a bug in a pathway that not many people run through on a day to day basis. I currently have no outstanding reports of events going missing that were not related to the DST change just recently.
