Once a week my ATT cablemodem lease expires. Pump has never auto-released.
I have a cronjob that runs monday at 5:00am, and thursday also. This covers
the spread incase a cable outage actually drops my line and isn't on the sunday
list for some reason.
It's not just you Carl, I hve the same problem.
