Hello,
I have problems with some cron jobs on Mandrake 7.2. Sometimes - once, twice a
week, but not regularly, some of the cron jobs are run more then once. it is
especially annoying during log-rotating. here is the example of cron log which
demonstrates is well - cron.daily jobs are excuted twice.
Jul 2 04:01:59 thorn CROND[23983]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.daily)
Jul 2 04:02:00 thorn CROND[24066]: (root) CMD ( /usr/share/msec/promisc_check
Jul 2 04:02:00 thorn CROND[24069]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.daily)
Jul 2 04:03:00 thorn CROND[24237]: (root) CMD ( /usr/share/msec/promisc_check
there is not ntp server on the box, just sync time 4 times a day, there is just
one cron demon running and it is not just "run-parts /etc/cron.daily" specific -
I have seen other jobs from the crontab started twice - the 2nd job about 1-2s
after the 1st one started. I have not seen the problem on other Mandrake version
or RedHat.
Has anyone seen a similar problem? Any clue what could be a reason of such a
behavior?
Thank you for any help.
Regards,
David Horky
