Are you certain about the fact they run every minute? In my system they appear to run every 15 minutes -*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons >/dev/null 2>&1 Which makes perfect sense, as the 'smallest' interval the scripts have is cron.hourly (so every 4 checks).
