Killing, Alexander [alex], 27 July 2017: I support this idea. However I guess this request lacks specification. The cron job page will be changed, the text of the notifications would be nice, too. What is meant with "It is also possible to solve the problem the same way like it is solved in consultation hours."?

AT 2017-12-18: I did further the requirements of this article in October 2017. 

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 18 DEC 2017: We highly appreciate this feature request and schedule it for 5.4. Please do not allow day values lower 1 and set 1 as default.
