[KLUG Members] Cron? problems

[Dirk H Bartley]

Can anyone tell me if the issue I am seeing is between the keyboard and the chair, or is
just bizzarre.  I have cron jobs which are running twice.  Not every time but some of the
times.  The job will run once, and then again a second later.  Is there anything in cron
which will check to see if the job ran and then retry???????  I am so confused.  The
standard output and error will be in my mailbox twice, once for the scheduled time and
then again for one second later.  If I put an & at the end of the line in the crontab, the
issue seems to go away.
