Fedora Users — RE: Cron jobs running twice

Just figured out why….after the upgrade I have both a /etc/crontab and a /etc/anacrontab….it’s parsing both.

It’s normal. 00 02 * * * /var/lib/mysql/highspam

It’s even running my stuff in cron.daily and cron.hourly twice.

I have a weird issue on one of my Fedora 11 machines. All my cron jobs keep running twice. (for example the stuff in cron.hourly will run twice every hour.) Just upgraded this machine from Fedora 10 yesterday. There’s only one crond process running so I’m not sure why it’s doing it. Here’s the log:
