[mythtv-users] Getting 13 days of listings? [was Zap2it Labs: Temporary scale-back to 3 days of listings]

[Scott Carlson]

I can't verify the historical usage, but comments about mythfilldatabase don't
look to be accurate for my MythTV 0.18.1 system.  

I have this line in crontab:
30 12 * * * sleep $(expr $RANDOM \% 14400) && mythfilldatabase >
/var/log/mythtv/mythfilldatabase.log 2>&1

Which appears to be attempting to grab data for all 14 days. (And now getting
the third day multiple times)

[mythtv at mythmaster mythtv]$ grep offset mythfilldatabase.log 
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 1
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 0
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 2
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 3
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 4
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 5
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 6
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 7
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 8
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 9
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 10
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 11
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 12
Grabbing data for Tue Feb 14 2006 offset 13

Can anybody explain what I am missing?
