This happens most obviously for the periodic scripts, but also on some scripts that I added for nightly, weekly, or runs at reboot. This started not long after a buildworld upgrade from one 4.x to another 4.x. Which upgrade, I don't recall unfortunately. The executions of the scripts appear to occur within minutes of each other, if not seconds. I checked /var/cron/tabs/root, and all entries are in there only once. Cron is also only running as a single process. The system is running 4.8-RC. Any thoughts of where to look and what to look for? Thanks! -John
