Last night was our change from EDT to EST. So we went through the |
| 2 |
1am-2am hour twice. My crontab has the following: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
# for vixie cron |
| 5 |
# $Header: |
| 6 |
# /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-process/vixie-cron/files/crontab-3.0.1-r4,v |

# 1.3 2011/09/20 15:13:51 idl0r Exp $ |

|

# Global variables |
| 10 |
SHELL=/bin/bash |
| 11 |
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin |
| 12 |
MAILTO=root |
| 13 |
HOME=/ |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
# check scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly and cron.monthly |
| 16 |
59 * * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly |
| 17 |
9 3 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily |
| 18 |
19 4 * * 6 root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly |
| 19 |
29 5 1 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly |
| 20 |
*/10 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons |
| 21 |

So the cron.daily file should be removed at 3:09am -- it should only run |
| 23 |
once as the 2am-forward time only occurred once. |

However, this morning I have two sets of email from my daily jobs |
| 26 |
running. At this time: |

|

Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2012 02:20:05 -0500 (EST) |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
and this time: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2012 03:10:04 -0500 (EST) |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Why would it have run twice? |
