Hi, I have the following crontab file on my SLES10 SP2 systems:
SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/lib/news/bin MAILTO=root # # check scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly, and cron.monthly # -*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons >/dev/null 2>&1 59 * * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly 10 0 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily 29 4 * * 6 root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly 44 4 1 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly This Sunday, when we move the time back one hour, the scripts in our daily group ran twice. This is caused by the run-crons script that runs every 15 minutes. In our case, the daily script ran at 12:10AM on 11/1, then again at 11:10PM on 11/1, and finally at 12:10AM on 11/2. Searching online, I see various bugs in run-crons causing this type of behavior on other distributions. Did anyone else see this behavior over the weekend?
