Cron Confusion

[-Genocide-]

For some reason, my crons started double crediting the other night, I rewrote the cron files, and all of them work fine now except my daily cron, any know what could be the issue?

Re: Cron Confusion

since ur a pro coder, I feel somewhat dumb asking this question...

But have you double checked to make sure you didn't set up the daily cron twice?

(Sorry!)

Re: Cron Confusion

yeah :P that was the first thing I checked, and I talked to my host, and the problem isnt happening on any other site hosted on the server, so its not a server problem

Re: Cron Confusion

I see. Ive found that if I have too many crons that run at the same time, it will sometimes double up on one cron and not run the other one at all.

Re: Cron Confusion

I bet you have crons that run every 5 minutes. 12:00 is a 5 minute mark ;) and probably one that runs every minute, so theres number 4.

Re: Cron Confusion

I have just the standard crons, with one additional that runs on Mondays, and my cron_minute, only set up once, is double running each time.

I tried the page on its own, without the cron, and it works fine. No issues. Drops jail time down one minute each time it's run, but when it runs with the cron, it always doubles up.

I definitely only have one cron running for cron_minute.php.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
