Hi Jone,

The --schedule option will help you debugging it.

You can do for example:

/gnu/store/9dl8l4krszdd1dhaw94da0nv28ap8dvp-mcron-1.1.1/bin/mcron \
/gnu/store/vvf3frpvrffpchbd3xxlq8kmnxsywja6-mcron-job \
/gnu/store/jv9asgfm82f6k7srwxy6bf9ckk70z270-mcron-job \
/gnu/store/n4jbzmm6ihv70dd8j2ba9501hxs3q9ar-mcron-job \
/gnu/store/2yql34psrh6iiyczs48hj7pw5bgv6gh6-mcron-job --schedule=10

It will compute the times the commands would be run and prints the
information to the screen, and then immediately exits.

See https://www.gnu.org/software/mcron/manual/mcron.html#Invoking-mcron.
