I just discovered backup cfengine files in /etc/cron.d/ on three Linux 
machines that were giving the cf_procs error. I found that after 
noticing double cfexecd cron log entries and double cfengine runlog 
entries.  :)

I still have a Solaris and Linux machine that produced the error this 
month which do not have duplicate cron entries. I'm wondering though...

Having duplicate cfexecd processes shows that cfagent isn't locking 
cf_procs, right?
So that means a manual cfagent would also step on a scheduled cfagent's 
cf_procs.
I know that I occasionally did do manual runs on at least one of the 
remaining mystery machines this month.
Is the answer then to lock cf_procs?
Could this be the case on your one machine?
