<p>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. Here’s the log:<o:p></o:p></p>
