cron oddities have come up a few times recently, and for some reason they tweak my interest. I wish they didn't. I fcsk up a bit up, I want to understand this more so I did a bit more research. It doesn't sleep for longer than 60 seconds. It wakes up to check if the timestamp on /etc/contrab, etc, has changed. I new this, duh. >From what I can tell, if the clock changes, cron should sort itself out the next time it wakes up, which is 1 minute or less. So even if you did change the time, I have no idea why your job ran early unless the time changed in the same minute as the job.
