Can anyone see what's wrong? I was recently struggling with reading crontab myself and found this useful page that I have no affiliation with -> https://crontab.guru/ It points out that the day of the month is set to '*', which means every day. If you want tasks to be executed one time only, look into `at` instead. Kind regards, Steve
