Multiple task runs with /etc/cron

The Santa Cruz version of the daemon /etc/cron has always had the tendency to run commands more than once. A temporary fix to this, which prevents repetition, is to insert a line in the crontab file.

To implement this change create the new crontab file by typing:-

crontab -l > /tmp/cronfile

Add the line:-

0 0,6,12,18 * * * /bin/true 2>&1

to the file and then run the command:-

crontab /tmp/cronfile
