Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-87 Severity: important File: crontab I run several tasks that need to execute every 2 or 3 minutes. I noticed that they have been running multiple times (I've seen anywhere from 2 to 4).
I can always reproduce the issue by creating a script: */2 * * * * root /root/crontabdebug.sh With the contents being: #/bin/bash echo "$0 $1 `date` PID=$$" >> /tmp/crontab.debug.log These are examples of the log entries that show the problem: /root/crontabdebug.sh Thu Oct 13 14:50:00 CDT 2005 PID=19644 /root/crontabdebug.sh Thu Oct 13 14:51:58 CDT 2005 PID=19735 /root/crontabdebug.sh Thu Oct 13 14:51:59 CDT 2005 PID=19778 /root/crontabdebug.sh Thu Oct 13 14:52:01 CDT 2005 PID=19820 /root/crontabdebug.sh Thu Oct 13 14:54:01 CDT 2005 PID=19914 /root/crontabdebug.sh Thu Oct 13 22:38:00 CDT 2005 PID=7672 /root/crontabdebug.sh Thu Oct 13 22:38:01 CDT 2005 PID=7717 /root/crontabdebug.sh Fri Oct 14 00:09:59 CDT 2005 PID=11664 /root/crontabdebug.sh Fri Oct 14 00:09:59 CDT 2005 PID=11685 /root/crontabdebug.sh Fri Oct 14 00:22:01 CDT 2005 PID=12246 /root/crontabdebug.sh Fri Oct 14 00:22:59 CDT 2005 PID=12308 I did look at bug #322921 and think that it doesn't apply in this case. My ntpdate entry runs every 9 minutes, which doesn't always coincide with the multiple executions.
