8580.0. "v3.2g cron strange behaviour !!!" by PANTER::MARTIN (Be vigilant...) Fri Jan 24 1997 11:46

    Has somebody already encountered a strange behaviour with
    cron on Digital Unix v3.2g ???
    
    Customer of mine reported a strange case where it seems that
    cron jobs start untimely from time to time, not everyday,
    not at the same time. 
    The strangest point is the fact that the 2 different user cron 
    jobs start together untimely !!!
    
    eg.
    	root jobs schedule:  23h00 every day
    	iidba jobs schedule: 22h00 every day
    
    started untimely on:
    
    	13 jan. 10h39
    	22 jan. 14h13
    	24 jan. 13h51
    
    The jobs were re-executed 2 second time at the correct time the
    same days...???
    
    The customer says that the same crontab entries and procedures
    do run successfully at other locations (but other Unix version).
    
    I haven't found such a problem reported, are there any other
    case like this which could make us think that there is a bug
    with cron on Digital Unix v3.2g ?
    
    
    Feedbacks will be welcomed,
