Node-cron - Red crashed, does it need a bump in package.json?

General
1

I recently noticed that the node-red service restarted on me. I know when I bounce the service or the box.

See this issue 408.

Node-red package.json is at 1.5.0. ...should this be bumped to 1.7.0?

I think I caught an edge case as reported.

Thanks.

Which node-red node is pulling in node-cron? I do not seem to have it installed in my node-red.

The module is cron and it's used by the Inject node.
The imminent 0.20 release pulls it up to the latest.

Ah yes, it is the module cron, not node-cron. Confusing as there is, in fact, also a module node-cron.
