Some would say that the traditional 4 lines is also too long, but most of the info in yours is better suited in a finger somewhere. That said, this is a known problem. I suggested a band-aid solution a while back, namely setting the daily script to run at 1:59 am. That would eliminate the problem for the vast majority of the western world minus a few european countries that do the change from 1 to 2 am or 1:30 to 2:30. At the time I was told that because there is no time to run the job that completely eliminates the possibility of conflict, no change would be made. Personally I think that kind of reasoning is nuts, but I don't get to make decisions around here. :) As others have already indicated, the simplest solution at this point is to reschedule the job locally.
