Configured Cron job executed every hour is instead executed every minute for 10m
Hello,
I found a strange anomaly where Cron jobs are being executed every minute monetarily for approximately 15 minutes instead of their scheduled time. I like to understand why? Are there any configuration parameters that I can modify to adjust this behavior? The Cron job should only be executed once at the assigned scheduled time regardless the exit status of the job. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards |
For a start, show the cronjob entry, secondly double-check there are no other cron entries for that ie user (inc root) entries are usually in files under /var/spool/cron, but system cron jobs are in any of these under /etc
Code:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 541 Mar 4 2011 anacrontab |
Hello,
The specified cron job is in bold and run as root: Code:
05:59:11:/etc> crontab -u root -l Code:
05:59:11:/etc> ls /var/spool/cron |

Hello,
I'm not sure how I missed that when I was reading the cron syntax. Thanks for the Help. Best Regards |
