Folks,

For some reason, the "/usr/bin/rsnapshot monthly" entry in the cron
listing below was not executed on this past October 1st. It's supposed
to be executed once a month on the first day of the month. (I added
the monthly run just a few days prior to October 1st, so I don't have
any history of it working.) Does anyone see a problem with the cron
listing below?

[BEGIN TEXT FROM CRON]
# m h dom mon dow command
0 * * * * /usr/bin/rsnapshot hourly
30 23 * * * /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily
0 0 1 * * /usr/bin/rsnapshot monthly
[END TEXT FROM CRON]

The relevant portion of my system log for October 1st:
