Ah, the Cron Uncertainty Principal. I know it well. Did my job run or is time 
dilated at disk-head speeds and thus uncertain? I put it down to quantum 
effects too since I'm sure I fully understand the layout of the crontab... 
And *I* never screw up a batch file, what with bash being so clear and all.
