Well, I'm neither but if it was me I'd just add a test that checks to 
see if the 280 flag is set and it's after midnight and just turn the 
flag off if that's true. That  makes it so the first call of the day 
fixes it automatically. Don't know if that's better or not, but it 
would me I didn't need to learn how to use cron.
