Error description
A job that is scheduled for a day that does not exist in a certain month may not get run as scheduled for the next month. Example: A job is scheduled for all odd days: 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31 On April 29th, the job will be run as expected. But it will not run again until May 31st, even though the next time it should run is May 1st. The key to this failure is that after the last valid day scheduled (April 29th in this case), there must be another day left in the month (April 30th.) The above example would experience a problem in February of a non-leap year, since after the job runs on the 27th, there is still one more day left in February. But it would not be a problem in a leap year, since a job will run on Feb 29th, but then there are no more days left in February after that.
Local fix
Workaround: Schedule your cron jobs differently. For example, if you have a job that must run on the 31st, schedule it only for 31-day months rather than all months.
