I got to similar problem. I created two other cron jobs that run one
minute before and one minute after the time I want to skip the original
job. The job at x-1m renames the original_job to temp_job, and the job
at x+1m renames the temp_job to original_job. This makes the cron fails
executing the original job at that time.
