PROBLEM: (BCGMC1ZNX, HPAQ80JML, BCGMA0G3H, BCGMA2191) (PATCH ID: OSF440-412) ******** This patch fixes a problem where some crontab jobs would run multiple times in the same minute. This problem was introduced by another cron patch on a previous patch kit. In fixing an earlier problem, cron was changed so that if a crontab was submitted that contained an entry for the current minute, the entry was run immediately. Previously, the entry was not run. This change in behavior caused a problem for crontab jobs which updated crontab without deleting the entry that started them. Such jobs could be run multiple times during their first minute. PROBLEM: (78912, FNO95387A, BCGM51P8N) (PATCH ID: OSF440-455) ******** This patch fixes two cron problems: 1) the cron daemon does intensive logging and fills up the disk, and 2) multiple cron daemons continue to run and consume system resources due to the fact that after a user is deleted from the system there are still jobs running on the users behalf.
