Why messages sent by cron delay one day?



Hi, All

This is my crontab:

# Mirror the hard disk at 1:47 AM every day
47 1  * * * /usr/local/sbin/disk-mirror.sh

This is the head of message sent by cron:

From root@athlon.micetek.com.cn Thu Nov 01 01:47:01 2001
                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Envelope-to: root@athlon.micetek.com.cn
From: root@athlon.micetek.com.cn (Cron Daemon)
To: root@athlon.micetek.com.cn
Subject: Cron <root@athlon> /usr/local/sbin/disk-mirror.sh
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>
Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 01:47:52 +0800
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So, message that was suposed to been sent on 31 Oct 2001 actually sent on Nov 01 2001. Is this the normal behaviour of cron daemon?

best regards,
Dai Yuwen
