Schedule confusion

[ZuluPilgrim]

I have the following set, which to my understanding should mean that Watchtower will run each Monday at midnight.
WATCHTOWER_SCHEDULE: 0 0 * * 1

It is now Thursday and my terminal is saying
watchtower-watchtower-1 | time="2024-07-31T21:42:03+12:00" level=info msg="Note that the first check will be performed in 3673 hours, 17 minutes, 56 seconds" notify=no

3673 hours is in over a hundred and fifty days time.

What am I doing wrong?

As mentioned in #579 (reply in thread), this might be the reason: you need 6 parameters instead of 5 (seconds are expected)

[ZuluPilgrim]

Thanks, that did it.

This is a common mistake. It would be nice if Watchtower gave a warning if it detected only 5 arguments. @ZuluPilgrim care to file a Feature Requst?
