Wow. Ok here is what was going on.
In cfengine_stdlib.cf there is a bundle "cronjob" that adds a new cron entry
and will HUP "cron".
I needed to remove a cronjob and there is no bundle in the stdlib to do that. I
copied the bundle
out of the stdlib and created a similar but opposite bundle to remove the cron
jobs.
Now this stanza was firing every run and for some reason picking up not just
"cron" but also "crontab"
processes:
"cron"
comment => "Most crons need to be huped after file changes",
signals => { "hup" };
I simply changed it so it would only fire if the crontab was actually modified.
I still think that it shouldnt do anything to "crontab" processes though.
