...And 8am, I just fixed a bug in a cron job that was rotating some archives and would truncate the timespec where I want the leading zero (eg 0600-0859) for the filename `timenow=$( date +%H )`, just looked it up and I fixed it by referencing the previous hour as `$(( ${timenow#0} - 1 ))` which forced the evaluation to not be octal. good times.
