Hi James,
Did you include this patch in the current version or the issue is still open? It is a pity you stopped working on cron.js. Either I was very unlucky searching for a scheduling library for Node, or there are not many better alternatives to yours around.

@darren Sorry for the, urr, delay. I'm interested in how your fix works. In what cases were steps not working?

@giacecco Not sure what happened. tbh, oddly, I've never even needed cron jobs in JS -- this was a hobby project at the time, if I remember correctly. Anyway, I'm making an effort to re-visit my older repos and apply fixes where necessary. :) Regarding node though, are you following the node-specific fork of this script? - https://github.com/ncb000gt/node-cron
