[techtalk] cron race

[Kathy Hargreaves]

Does anyone know if this crontab setup would be a race condition?

    0 0 * * 7 /l/httpd/scripts/archive-logs --weekly
    0 0 1 * * /l/httpd/scripts/archive-logs --monthly
    0 0 1 1 * /l/httpd/scripts/archive-logs --yearly
            
On the days when two or more date conditions are met, I want the script
to run first with the ``weekly'' option, then with the ``monthly'' one,
then with the ``yearly'' one.  And I don't want to stagger the hours
because for each condition, I need to archive the logs right on that
boundary.


Thanks,
Kathy
