This is the third time I=E2=80=99ve seen this, and this time I=E2=80=99m
sure that nothing else happened.

I have numerous mcron jobs configured, many of which run every 15 =
minutes,
and one which runs once a minute. Just now, at 19:22, I noticed the =
minutely
cron job didn=E2=80=99t seem to run, and saw that one every-15-minute =
job which always
logs to mcron.log had last run at 18:00. I restarted mcron, and jobs =
started
running again. There is no timezone confusion either: That =
every-15-minute job
logged its first run at 19:30.
