What is happening is that RedHat is using a cron daemon that will
automatically run missed jobs when it finds them.  My guess is that you
start your computer up for your class and crond realizes that it missed
a job and starts running it.  You could reschedule the job to run at
some other time when your computer is normally on or you could turn cron
off.
