This bug is old enough to drive. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 69777 *** LOL. I see. Wow. Well, I'll deal with the script my way then, and it looks like whoever is in charge of it is entrenched, so there is no risk my fix will be overwritten. The "computer off" rationale that was provide in the other bug doesn't hold water. If the "remove stale entries" logic is modified to a one hour longer timeframe to deal with DST, the files still age while the computer is off and the cronjobs will run when the computer is brought back up (as well as at the scheduled time). I understand this still results in double run, but it resolves the double run issue for those of us running 24/7 systems. |
