The machine doesn't work that way. It's a really simple script that uses the current time to figure out what to do.

Twas automated. Think of it like a pipe that was backed up. I removed the clog so then everything blocked behind the clog came out at the same time. Yesterday's weekly update had been stuck in the pipe for 6 days. Today's update is the new one since today is Friday.

But why?  
Yeah it was actually pretty interesting. A single daemon manages all of the scheduled bot tasks using a database. I tried backing up the server last Monday/Tuesday but the system ran out of storage. Everything was having issues for a few minutes until I deleted some files and made some space. What happened was the daemon attempted loading its database during that time and assumed the lack of results ment it wasn't needed. It thought it was doing the correct thing and thus I didn't have any error messages to tip me off about the glitch. I manually restarted it yesterday since I noticed the monthly update wasn't posted.
