# Issue during cron execution – not acceptable

 * I’ve found an issue which is absolutely not acceptable! An important plugin uses
   the URL parameter `action=run-cron` as well. When I trigger an action on the 
   specific plugin (not your plugin) page, your code throws an issue:
 * `PHP Notice: Undefined index: sig in /Users/xxx/Sites/localhost/wp-content/plugins/
   wp-crontrol/wp-crontrol.php on line 581`
 * This issue happens because you are listening for `$_GET['action']` globally. 
   Instead, you should first check if the action is triggered within your plugin
   page by checking for `$_GET['page'] === 'crontrol_admin_manage_page' && .....`!
 * Until this is fixed, I need to disable the plugin.

 * This has been fixed in version 1.11.0.
 * A word of advice: don’t use language like “absolutely not acceptable” when you’re
   talking to the author of an open source plugin which is provided to you for free.
   It doesn’t go down well.

 * I can understand your point of view but as a developer I see more and more plugins
   that are badly programmed which produces more issues instead of helping someone.
   What I’m missing here is something like a quality gate which prevents at least
   some basic issues…
