Cron jobs running twice

[Casartello, Thomas]

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.

Really running or logging twice?
