I have had localtime in CMOS, and not UTC. And due to the fact that the
system (a netbook) was off betwwen 0 and 5 the job in /etc/crontab did
not got fired. I changed it now to UTC in CMOS (running tzsetup(8) and will
wait for the next DST...

1990, when the Russians stood in Germany at river Elbe, we have had peace. Today the
NATO stands in the Baltic States, in Poland ..., and we have war all over the world.
