[CLUE-Tech] what clock does cron use?

[Nate Duehr]

Only a late-night guess here, 'cause I'm not seeing anything wrong with 
your crontab entry...

There's some kind of wicked discrepancy going on there... one From: line says 23:00:02 and one line later it says 00:00:02.

Only "interesting" thing going on time-wise the last week and this week is various world-wide daylight-savings-time switches.  U.K. and some others last weekend, U.S. here shortly... but none of them on the 31st of March... Strange.

Just wondering if you'd seen that discrepancy in your output.  Might be 
a clue, but to what... I don't know.  Your crontab entry looks fine, but 
the double-zeros aren't necessary.

Are any of the timezone settings on that machine out of whack 
somewhere?  Anything syncing the clock to another machine -- and might 
that other machine have had a momentary lapse of sanity that night?  
Hmmm....
