Description Samson Wick 2018-11-05 16:00:10 UTC

Description of problem: When configuring a Job to recur and selecting "Monthly" as the frequency, the current day of the month is always used regardless of what value(s) is placed in the "Day" field.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.3.4 and 6.4.0


How reproducible: 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. From the Satellite GUI, browse to Monitor->Jobs
2. Click "Run Job"
3. Select any value for Category, Template, Search Query.
4. Provide any value for "command".
5. Check the bullet for "Set up recurring execution"
6. Select "Monthly" for "Repeats"
7. In the "Days" field, provide any day or combination of days other than the current day of the month.
8. Click "Submit"
9. Observe that the next occurrence is scheduled on the same day as the present day next month, irrespective of what day of the month was specified.

Actual results:
The recurring task is scheduled for the same day of the month as the present day, not the day specified.  For example, if the recurring logic is created on 11/5, execution will be scheduled to always occur on the 5th of each month regardless of what date was specified.


Expected results:
The recurring task is scheduled for the day or days of the month specified on the form.


Additional info:
This has been tested with Satellite 6.3.4 and 6.4, using the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome, running on both Linux and Windows.

As a workaround, "cronline" can be used to produce the desired result.
