[tlug] Odd cron/crontab result.

[Jim Breen <Jim.Breen@example.com>]

I have various housekeeping scripts I run regularly, e.g. hourly,
so I have crontab entries like this:

        0 * * * * /......./hourly_script

They have done what they are supposed to do, and continue to
on the main (Solaris) server I use at Monash.

Recently I have noticed several of the Linux systems I use,
including my Monash desktop system and my notebook, both FDC4,
only run hourly between 10:00 and 23:00. The hours until 10am
are skipped.

I have R'd the FM, Goggled, etc. all to no avail. I have tried
putting:

	0 0-23 * * * /......./hourly_script

but got no different result.

Any ideas:

- why I don't get it to work before 10am?
- what I need to do to fix it?

Cheers

Jim
