Hi,

OS version AIX 5.3.

I have scheduled a job with -

01 * * * * /oracle/prd/bin/statspack_report.sh >> /oracle/prd/bin/stats.log

As per convention this must run every hour at one minute. i.e. 1.1,2.2,3.3 min.

But on one box job runs fine one minute every hour while on others it runs at 31 mins. i.e. 1.31, 2.31, 3.31.

Any idea why this is so?

As per the entry the job would run at 1:01, 2:01, 3:01, etc

Could you check out on the boxes where it is not running as expected, if there is a typo.....31 instead of 01?

Or change the entry like this, if it helps:

1 * * * * /oracle/prd/bin/statspack_report.sh >> /oracle/prd/bin/stats.log

Does the box run on a different timezone than its users? We have one system where the system is running one timezone and the users can be on several possible timezones. From memory, crontabs uses the timezone of the root user.
