Dayly cron job



Hi all:

I've set up a dayly cron job to run at 11 pm. It's supposed to gzip
some files on the system.

It seems like if the computer is turned off at 11 pm, the job never
gets done. Shouldn't it run as soon as the computer is powered on in
case that it never got to run because it was off?

Thanks!

p.s. Output of my crontab -l:

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.XXXXa01994 installed on Fri Apr 16 16:31:27 1999)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $)
1       23      *       *       *       gzip -r9 ~/Mail/mail/*/[0-9]*
