Root cause not known yet. However, the problem is directly related to the NTP service. The box is also running vmware under Fedora 14. Do not have any further info as I'm not a primary admin of the vmware. I do know that the cron issue was resolved when NTP service was stopped. Also, I found that the ntpdate service had no effect on syncing up the date when I did try to run it. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Fedora-14-cron-sometimes-executes-multiple-times-tp31742754p31948021.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
