Hi, this is the most similar bug that I can found. I am using vixie-cron-4.1-33_FC3, when I turn on my laptop after midinight, May 11 02:46:56 logwatch start before the schedual and send the email from anonymous user ? After this run at schedual time and send normally the email from root user. After many time trying understand the problem, I realize this happens when I reboot or power on my laptop after 0:00 am and before 4:02 am (In reply to comment #3) : please see bug #157448 raised about the problem you report, which is NOT related to the DST change issue that is the subject of this bug report. This bug is fixed with vixie-cron-4.1-8_EL3, available from: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/cron/RHEL-3 and should be considered for inclusion in RHEL-3-U7 . This bug is fixed with vixie-cron-4.1-10.EL3, currently in RHEL-3-U7, with errata RHSA-2005:0117 |
