it would probably be much easier to make this job a separate cron process on one machine, or if it _must_ be in tomcat (why?) tie it to an ip adress or server name, so the task just checks that it can only run on tomcat1 or tomcat 10, or whatever... Otherwise you'll need to check logs on all machines to find out which run the task today.
