I have a weird issue on one of my Fedora 11 machines. All my cron jobs keep
running twice. (for example the stuff in cron.hourly will run twice every
hour.) Just upgraded this machine from Fedora 10 yesterday. There's only one
crond process running so I'm not sure why it's doing it. Here's the log:
Jul 31 07:01:01 ataxia CROND[18485]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)

Was really running twice. I found the problem. Essentially the run-parts
commands for the cron.daily, cron.hourly, etc were declared twice. I had an
older /etc/crontab from an older version (which had all these commands) plus
the new /etc/anacrontab created by the upgrade to Fedora 11 had the
cron.weekkly, daily, and monthly, and there was another file in the cron.d
directory where the cron.hourly stuff was declared. Just using my
/etc/crontab file now and all the stuff is running just once.

it's still running twice every hour.
Really running or logging twice?

Just figured out why….after the upgrade I have both a /etc/crontab

I also have both, and this is not happening.

I bet that cron and anacron are both running your cron jobs. I ran into
this when I upgraded one of my systems to F11. If I remember correctly
I commented out the "run cron jobs" stuff in the anacron config.
I bet it's sylog.conf which leads to double logging.
