    It certainly is, but that's a business question, not a technical question If the business requires it to run at 01:30 and there are two per day, or zero per day, then the business …

    And very few people work there relative to the impact. Sure nobody liked living near factories in ye olden days, but they did like the employment opportunities. You can see how few…

    So I have to manually update the job How about I use some form of library to do it. I tell it I want to run at 0800 London time, and it runs at 0800 London time If I tell it I want…

    In the 90s we clamoured for being able to subscribe to what we want rather than a single We broadly have that now. I subscribe to Youtube, Spotify, Netflix, Disney, Apple, Paramoun…
