I'll say on the onset that this is probably not a bug, but simply something I'm doing wrong... but maybe it is a bug, and I'd like to get to the bottom of the issue in any case. I'm running 3.1.0.

I have placed the following in my host's "Scheduled jobs" feature, which appears to be a custom front-end to cron:

I have this scheduled to run at 1:15 AM daily. The intent is to verify the legitimacy of all the links each day, as most links lead to news article content that may become unavailable at any time.

No errors occur (according to the host), leading me to believe the script does run, and should check each URL each night.

Yet the next morning, when I click "Link Status", I find all of the links added since the previous day's manual "Verify Links" are still marked "New" and have not been verified.

So, have I done something wrong, or have I found a bug?
