cron jobs executing twice
I'm running on T7-2 and T5-4 Servers running Solaris 11.3
NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION IFO
entire 0.5.11-0.175.3.16.0.3.0 i--
I have approximately 65 LDOMs across 12 physical servers.
I recently updated root's crontab on all my Guest LDOMs via this command:
sudo crontab -e as a user with permissions to run the command as root began running double cron jobs for each entry in the crontab.
On a single T5-4 server, all the LDOMs on that physical server, after having their root crontabs updated, began initiating each scheduled cron job twice.
None of my other servers' Guest LDOMs did this. There were no errors generated in any of the logs or on the consoles for the LDOMs. cron just quietly started initiating each job twice until I caught it when a monthly job that sends email sent me two emails instead of one. Looking back at the cron logs, I can see it definitely was after the crontab updates for each of these LDOMs.
