On one machine (W2P) though, I'm getting very strange behavior. I have two entries in my crontab: * * * * * command one */2 * * * * command two Instead of command one running every two minutes and command two running every minute, I get alternating sequences of each command running for some wierd even number interval like 6,8,12 minutes. Command one runs for a while and then command two runs for a while. This makes no sense whatsoever and there are no error messages in event logs or anywhere else that I can find. Has anyone who has cron running correctly (as SYSTEM) ever seen this problem? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
