Package: systemd-cron Version: 2.3.4-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Today I noticed that a run of cron-update.service apparently causes some past cron jobs to re-run. In particular, I have a cron job of "5 5 5 * *" which correctly executed this morning at 2024-04-05T05:05:08.401635+02:00. Then, at 6:24 an automatic configuration script caused a re-run of cron-update.service. This, however, did not only cause a restart of the generated timer unit but also started the service itself, i.e., the service ran again at 2024-04-05T06:24:40.798393+02:00. I was able to reproduce the behavior with other timers, too. It seems that the generated cron services are executed by cron-update.service if they are within a certain time limit in the past. Best, Maximilian
