Well, that is what he did say that he expects, but on two specific hours it runs twice. Are you running something like NTP that might mess things up with regards to timing? If possible, have you tried running the script at a different number of minutes past the hour (I avoid running cron jobs at even number of minutes myself, for various reasons)? What if you set up a separate cron job, something like this, just to see what happens? 0 * * * * date --utc It may also be worthwhile reinstalling the cron daemon, if for no other reason to rule out the possibility of a corrupt binary being the cause of this behavior (no matter how unlikely that would be). I can safely say that in my years using GNU/Linux systems, I have never seen anything even remotely like the behavior the O.P. is describing. - -- Michael Kjörling, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://michael.kjorling.com/ * ASCII Ribbon Campaign: Against HTML Mail, Proprietary Attachments * * .....
