[support] cron overwriting changes

[Katie Legere]

I've installed the Elysia Cron module and changed some of the crons to run less often and will play with it on the weekend to see if there's a particular cron that's having this effect. The crons all look pretty normal and with the information you sent looked though the modules at their crons and see nothing that I would expect to produce this behaviour...

Hook_cron implementations are in the .module files for each module.  If
the module is named mymodule then you're looking for the mymodule_cron
function in the mymodule.module file, which can be found in either
sites/all/modules folders or modules folders depending on whether the
module is a core module.

I will do this - a question though.. where do I find the individual
hook_cron implementations? I'm new-ish to Drupal but not new to php
programming.

Are you just executing cron.php in your crontab?  Try adding the
Elysia Cron module and controlling the hook_cron implementations
individually until you find the one that is causing the problem.
Executing cron.php itself shouldn't cause this but perhaps the site
has a custom module that does something weird.
