My cron-based ogg123 alarm clock went off this morning. (It was okay because I was up and going to go play basketball.) It was configured for day 24 and for Saturday. Note that crontab(5) says:

... when at least one of the two day fields (day of month, or day of week) match the current time ...

Note: The day of a command's execution can be specified by two fields -- day of month, and day of week. If both fields are restricted (ie, aren't *), the command will be run when either field matches the current time.
