Any donation?
I'm not begging but If you want, I would be glad to receive a small donation. There are 4.4 million unemployed in my country and It is hard to be employed.

I recommend changing time setting for the cron.

Find:

<scheduling weekday="-1" day="-1" hour="5" minute="-1" />

Replace with:

<scheduling weekday="-1" day="-1" hour="5" minute="10" />

May I ask why?

Because the task

will be performed every minute for one hour (start 05:00 AM). It does not make sense.
