trying to setup cron plus to do a simple it is sunrise, it is sunset. I can get the schedule in and get the outputs but I'm trying to fool proof in case of a power outage on the Pi. I can setup the context to store whether it's day or night but if the power goes out how can I get cron to output the last schedule or can I?

Send a describe or trigger command\* to it from an inject set to inject once on start up
