The server is synced to NTP. Last night another daily job called updatePhysicalView.sh executed 3 times. I've verified that there is only one instance of crond running. Is it possible that crond could be spawning other cron processes that cause the jobs to execute? It would be useful if there was a way to include the id of the process that executed the cron job. Is it possible to increase log levels in Fedora to get more info?
