Bug Description

I've set TimeShift to monthly, weekly, daily and reboot snapshots. But the root crontab show:
@reboot sleep 10m && timeshift --backup
@hourly timeshift --backup

I change root crontab file by:
@reboot sleep 10m && timeshift --backup
@daily timeshift --backup

But ThimeShift in few hours rewrite again:
@reboot sleep 10m && timeshift --backup
@hourly timeshift --backup

This is a huge problem because I have installed ssmtp in ubuntu 16.04 and I receive a email report every hour. This also probably makes that TS run every hour unnecessarily. The application not should run as it be configured? That is, when take a snapshot.

The email report:
Boot snapshots are enabled
Last boot snapshot is 75 hours old
Daily snapshots are enabled
Last daily snapshot is 23 hours old
Weekly snapshots are enabled
Last weekly snapshot is 4 days old
Monthly snapshot are enabled
Last monthly snapshot is 11 days old
ok
Cron job removed: @daily timeshift --backup
Cron job added: @hourly timeshift --backup

Thanks in advance for your attention.
