Weekly cron executing 2 times:

  • 772

I have placed a .sh file that runs a php script weekly.

This script should run only once, but every sunday it runs at:

  • 1:30 am
  • 6:50 am

Any way to fix this?

OH CRAP

in the first email the user agent that request that email via web is: [HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Lynx/2.8.5rel.1 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 GNUTLS/1.4.4

and guess who is the IP of the REQUEST ? it's the IP of my old server (where was setted the same cron job)

It's like the old server is requesting that cron via web, I just need to delete the cron job to my old server

linux debian cron debian-squeeze

    The job is being run by Apache at 1:27, not cron:

    ps: www-data  9385  2405  2405  2405  0 47638 12984   1 Mar08 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start

env: APACHE_LOCK_DIR=/var/lock/apache2

    Is httpd being restarted around that time? (Some startup code could be running this.) Alternately, does www-data have a crontab?

  2. I believe this will be relevant..

    Under ubuntu or debian, you can view crontab by /var/spool/cron/crontab/ and then a file for each user is in there. That's only for user specific crontab's of course

    By the way i got that from here....https://stackoverflow.com/questions/134906/how-do-i-list-all-cron-jobs-for-all-users
