Post #318,675 by drook 12/15/09 11:22:37 PM Reply	Figured out the problem ... but not the solution (yet) I set up the initial crontab, then made one or two changes to it. As a test, I just deleted my crontab, but my job still ran on schedule. I've got my regular user and an admin user. I've checked that neither of those has a crontab, and I don't see one for root. (Which just means the root user for my virtual server doesn't have one. I don't actually have root on the physical box.) So, is this something that I can fix, or do I need to submit a ticket to support? -- Drew

As soon as the DNS changes propagated I started getting two runs. I had assumed since the server still thought it owned the domain that the job would never leave the box, but that doesn't seem to have been the case. -- Drew

How? - (drook) - (11) - Dec. 11, 2009, 07:24:49 PM EST

Ahh, output-document ... so intuitive - (drook) - (8) - Dec. 11, 2009, 10:20:35 PM EST

typically /var/log/messages and any output is sent to root.. - (folkert) - (7) - Dec. 11, 2009, 11:22:21 PM EST

Nothing in /var/log/messages - (drook) - (6) - Dec. 12, 2009, 12:31:03 PM EST

Nope, not there either - (drook) - (4) - Dec. 12, 2009, 09:48:06 PM EST

Check /etc/syslog.conf - (scoenye) - (3) - Dec. 13, 2009, 11:06:45 AM EST

Good point. - (folkert) - Dec. 13, 2009, 12:34:07 PM EST

That would do it - (drook) - (1) - Dec. 13, 2009, 01:32:30 PM EST

set it for a single pass first, then debug - (boxley) - Dec. 13, 2009, 02:38:09 PM EST

But clearly, it's unreasonable to use a sledge hammer to drive upholstery tacks.
