cron.daily
cron.hourly
cron.monthly
cron.weekly

there are 4 possible instances (scripts) that could be launching

this could explain why it shows up twice

last post - you listed errors - this post, I don't see any errors, only
a user with doubts

Are you having problems still or just doing an OCE thing?

also, know that not all cron scripts go in the cron folders you listed
for us...

# ls -l /var/spool/cron/
total 12
