I have a cron job that runs every day at 2AM:
0 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/perl
/home/randy/perl/clean/ftp_server_backup_1.0.pl

For some reason, cron runs this twice every night at 2AM:

[root@ftp cron]# cat /var/log/cron | grep backup
Aug 13 01:59:59 ftp CROND[21393]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/bin/perl
/home/randy/perl/clean/ftp_server_backup_1.0.pl)
Aug 13 02:00:01 ftp CROND[21402]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/bin/perl
/home/randy/perl/clean/ftp_server_backup_1.0.pl)

There are no duplicate cron jobs for other users with the same script

Anyone ever had this happen? Should I re-install CRON, or recreate the
crontab file?
