Strange cron problem
I have 2 servers I will call "server A" and "server B". Server A has an application account user on it that rsyncs it's scripts and configuration files to Server B. Server B is acting as a failover server for Server A.
We recently renamed Server B to Server A and Server A to Server B to test our failover and then switched everything back. Now for the strange part. The application user is still running the scripts on Server B even though it has been supposely returned completely to it's original configuration. I have just /var/spool/cron/crontabs and there is no crontab for the application user. I also checked the cron.allow file and the application user is not in there on Server B. How is it possible for the scripts to continue to run and email out results when the user account no longer has cron permissions and their crontab is gone ?
