[ problems with cron(C) executing jobs twice deleted ]

I'm posting this since I thought this might be of general interest.  I'd
suggest putting the following line in root's crontabs file
(/usr/spool/cron/crontabs/root), and then re-starting cron(C).

      1 * * * * /bin/true

This will force cron(C) to run a job once every hour, and should resolve
any scheduling problems you might have.  You might also try installing
the Support Level Supplement (SLS) xnx155, which contains a new version
of cron(C).
