Dual mail delivery from scheduled task on dual-instanceCFMX7 Enterprise system

[imag_je]

Hi all, first of all apologies in case this has been solved somewhere, but
after a day of looking through forums and the web, I can not find anything that
fits.

We have a CFMX7 Enterprise running on a Windows 2003 Server (Web Edition) Box,
2 GB RAM, Intel Xeon 2.4 GHz ...

A number of websites run in Instance1, a few others run in Instance2. This is
to avoid one larger site causing troubles for the smaller sites in Instance2
when it goes about to query large tables and generate the emails.

We have a few scheduled tasks which get executed each hour, but manually
triggering one schedule task will result in the same issue:

In the scheduled task, a query selects the relevant email addresses and sends
out the emails. The problem I have is, although the scheduled task is only
listed in one of the instances when I check in the CF Administrator, the emails
get send out twice, they also show up in "mailsent" logfiles on BOTH instances
(I assume these are different logfiles...) - therefore I believe both instances
work the scheduled task, resulting in double emails.

Is there any possibility that this happens, I believe we did not experience
double-emails with only one instance, and even got tripple email deliveries
when we had three instances running for fun.

ANY help on resolving this would be greatly appreciated - if you're in London,
this buys you a drink if we bump into each other! :-)

Thanks,
Jonas

seems to be the several jrun.exe processes that cause it... I'm still none the wiser... I must be missing something obvious... :-/

You assume that, or you have verified that?

You believe that, or you have verified that? (See the log of scheduled
tasks for each instance.)
