I am using Magento 1.9.1.0. I set up a catalog price rule which applies to all my products in my store with a discount of the 20 percent for just one day.
The catalogrule_apply_all action is supposed to be ran every day at 1am in the mornig (0 1 * * *).
I have a problem in setting the date range of the promotion. To test it, in my development environment, I set up the from_date and the end_date with the 'today' value. After applying the rule I can't see the promotion in the frontend. I need to set up the from_date back of one day to see it working.
Now I have to schedule the promotion, which will start in 2 days, for my production environment and I am not sure about which value assign to from_date field. Should I assign the day before it should be active or should i leave the real start date?

If you update the first two lines to
Note that now both uses gmtTimestamp which is inline with the comparison. This should work fine. Obviously add a class override.
