I did some more looking, and noticed that it ran on the weekend maintenance 
window, but now the windows are scheduled again until this Friday. Any idea 
why? Does Oracle just decide it doesn't think things change enough that it 
doesn't need to for a while, or is there something else going on?

Subject: autotask query

We have a system that runs on UTC and is active during the day in North 
America. As such I recently changed the autotask used maintenance windows so 
that they would run during the N.A. nighttime. After I did this, the next day 
the jobs ran when expected (the new time), but then didn't run for about a 
week. I was getting worried something had gotten messed up but then finally 
last night they did run as expected.
You can see what I did here 
http://tinky2jed.wordpress.com/oracle-stuff/changing-the-oracle-database-default-maintenance-window-time/

I was thinking maybe it didn't think there was any work to do, but I would 
think it still would kick off the job to figure that out. So, I'm still 
wondering why it didn't run for almost a week. Prior to that it seems it has 
run every day during the week.

Running at the default times
