Yesterday I added $ cat /etc/cron.daily/debug #!/bin/sh /bin/date >>/tmp/cron-debug and indeed, the daily cronjobs run several times a day: $ cat /tmp/cron-debug Tue Dec 4 16:15:01 CET 2007 Tue Dec 4 17:45:01 CET 2007 Tue Dec 4 19:15:02 CET 2007 Tue Dec 4 20:45:01 CET 2007 Tue Dec 4 22:15:01 CET 2007 Tue Dec 4 23:30:01 CET 2007 Wed Dec 5 01:00:01 CET 2007 Wed Dec 5 01:15:01 CET 2007 Wed Dec 5 02:45:01 CET 2007 Wed Dec 5 04:15:01 CET 2007 Wed Dec 5 05:45:01 CET 2007 Wed Dec 5 07:15:01 CET 2007 Wed Dec 5 08:45:01 CET 2007 Wed Dec 5 10:15:01 CET 2007 Wed Dec 5 11:30:01 CET 2007 I update rpms from STABLE in another cron.daily script, but I it definitely hasn't updated (and restarted) cron for some days (which was my first suspect): $ ps -fww $(pidof cron) UID PID PPID C STIME TTY STAT TIME CMD root 17620 1 0 Dec02 ?
