[Bug 1250837] [NEW] Schedule doesn't work correctly

[Rodrigo Ap. F. Tomazini]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

I think I have found a bug in cron.
I scheduled a task to be executed in this month, November, between 8-14 days only if day was tuesday. Cron schedule:

30 06 8-14 nov tue web /usr/bin/php
/var/www/site/tarefas/pos_atualiza_fichas.php

It has been executed every day not only tuesday and I don't know why it
has been executed in day 5. See the logs:
