Why have my weekly cron jobs begun running bi-weekly?

Asked by BostonDynamics in Linux

Here is a line from our /etc/crontab (enterprise Linux 4)

02 09 * * 1 root /admin/licenses/bin/demo.sh

For the last four weeks, the script has only run every other week.  No significant changes have been made to the server.  Running the script as root succeeds at all times.
