RE: Cron jobs running twice
Was really running twice. I found the problem. Essentially the run-parts commands for the cron.daily, cron.hourly, etc were declared twice. I had an older /etc/crontab from an older version (which had all these commands) plus the new /etc/anacrontab created by the upgrade to Fedora 11 had the cron.weekkly, daily, and monthly, and there was another file in the cron.d directory where the cron.hourly stuff was declared. Just using my /etc/crontab file now and all the stuff is running just once. Thomas E.

Cron jobs running 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.
