Correct.

I think not. It should be:

> Cronjob run:
> on Monday:    no fine is generated (usually you can return until 23:59)
> on Tuesday:   fine of 2€ is generated (for Tuesday)
> on Wednesday: no fine is generated - library is closed!
> on Thursday:  an additional 2€ is generated (for Thursday)

In the past, Wednesday would not generate a fine. The script would exit when
"today" was a holiday. I am not sure if we have changed that - but I hope not
as  our use cases requires it looks like above.
Here when the library is closed, nothing on the account should "move".

Could settings for fine interval (charge at beginning or end) and finescalendar
have different effects here?
