Perhaps you are running something in root's crontab ? 2) check the /etc/cron.* directories to see if you accidentally made a copy of a file. I for example usually make a copy of a file if i'm going to edit it so I could easily do something like : prompt# cp /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron.orig prompt# vi /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron prompt# logout and then cron woould be running slocate twice (slocate.cron and slocate.cron.orig) -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
