What ever happened to using the system clock to schedule cron jobs? Seemed to work correctly for how many years? Now you schedule based on how long ago a file was created which is rather short sighted to me. Like I have said in the past If it aint broke, don't fix it (break it)
My /etc/crontab prior to upgrading to 9.3 had these lines in it: 59 * * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly 04 0 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily 29 1 * * 6 root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly 44 1 1 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly I added them back into the 9.3 one and now my cron jobs run when I want them to. I wonder why that was removed in 9.3? -- San Francisco, CA
