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
