Multiple crond instances
Hi,
I've a strange problem since a couple of months. By now I'm running WHM 11.48.2 (build 3)
I've multiple crond instances running so cron run multiple times at the same time (checked with ps -aux| grep crond).
I've already checked that cron aren't registered more than once.
If I kill the processes and I keep only one instance everything works fine for sometime (maybe hours or days).
Is there a way to solve the problem or at least to force crond process to run as unique instance?
Thanks for your help

Hello, I don't think you will be able to do that as multiple crons are running at the same time. You might want to give a thought on changing time. 0 -
I DON'T want to run the cron multiple time. It's exactly the opposite. 0 -
Anyone have run into this issue? :( 0 -
What cron is it specifically that's running? 0 -
Cron runs once a day a command line application written with Laravel (php framework). I've already checked that is not a problem related to php app. 0 -
But there is a problem, its running multiple instances. 0 -
Application run multiple times because crond daemon run multiple times. A sstated in my first post if I run ps aux |grep crond I see something similar to this, i.e. multiple instances created many days ago. And if I kill the processes sometimes later they comes back root@cloud01 [/home/admin2]# ps aux |grep crond root 18680 06:32 crond root 7200 Mar 05 crond root 11108 Mar 13 crond 0 -
I've tried the following, and it seems it works (since 3 days at least): I killed all the crond instances with kill PROCESS_ID I waited for 5 minutes (the time chksrvd needs to do service checks) Crond was started by chksrvd I'll continue to monitor the situation, if everything will continue to work fine I consider the problem solved 0
