This should not happen with the latest version of cron, which is: vixie-cron-4.1-19 . I'm in the process of getting this pushed to FC2 updates; meanwhile, you can download it for FC2 from: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/vixie-cron/FC2 Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
