This is on a Thinkpad T42 running: FreeBSD cobalt 10.0-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p6 #3 r267829M: Wed Jun 25 07:41:33 BST 2014 root@cobalt:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 BIOS clock is running UTC and is under ntpd control. I noticed this on a logging cron job that is supposed to run on the hour. These are the last few timings: 03:59:47 04:59:12 05:59:47 06:59:47 07:59:47 08:59:47 09:59:47 10:59:47 11:59:47 12:59:47 Best Regards, Mark Willson -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Spil Oss Sent: 30 June 2014 10:05 To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: Hourly cron jobs running to early Hi, A system I manage that was recently upgraded from 9 to 10.0 and to a later version of VMWare vSphere (5.5U1) is no longer running hourly jobs at the top of the hour but just before. This is especially annoying for newsyslog that doesn't then cycle logfiles that are set to daily rotation. grep -E " (00|23):" /var/log/cron.log Jun 25 23:59:34 gw /usr/sbin/cron[94620]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) Jun 26 00:59:51 gw /usr/sbin/cron[95380]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) Jun 26 23:59:12 gw /usr/sbin/cron[21259]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) Jun 27 00:59:34 gw /usr/sbin/cron[22036]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) Jun 27 23:59:25 gw /usr/sbin/cron[49211]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) Jun 28 00:59:34 gw /usr/sbin/cron[49968]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) Jun 28 23:58:55 gw /usr/sbin/cron[83459]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) Jun 29 00:59:51 gw /usr/sbin/cron[84221]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) Jun 29 23:59:51 gw /usr/sbin/cron[6571]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) Jun 30 00:59:51 gw /usr/sbin/cron[7327]: (root) CMD (newsyslog) ntpd is configured on the server and working fine # ntpdate -q ntp1.nl.uu.net server 193.79.237.14, stratum 1, offset -0.000250, delay 0.02942 30 Jun 10:54:50 ntpdate[19771]: adjust time server 193.79.237.14 offset -0.000250 sec Looking at all hourly newsyslog jobs for a day 14:59:51 15:59:47 16:58:42 17:59:51 18:59:55 19:59:55 20:59:51 21:59:12 22:59:34 23:59:51 23:59:51 23:59:51 00:59:51 01:58:42 02:59:29 03:59:47 04:59:51 05:59:47 06:59:38 07:59:51 08:59:42 09:58:42 10:58:42 I don't really see a pattern in this _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
