9 timers listed.
Pass --all to see loaded but inactive timers, too.The 03:00 timer looks like it could be the one. But why is it also firing at midnight?
Edit:
Found this in /var/log/daemon.log:
Code:
Apr 10 00:05:08 mailgw systemd[1]: Starting Send Daily Spam Report Mails...
Apr 10 03:00:02 mailgw systemd[1]: Starting Send Daily Spam Report Mails...

seems the timer is configured to run twice?
check the output of `systemctl cat pmgspamreport.timer`
for how it was overridden from the default - check the systemd docs:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html
I hope this helps!
A long long time later, I got to the bottom of this. Figured I’d add some closure to the thread.
A completely different batch job on the machine changed the clock (incorrect use of ’date’ command), which caused the trigger to run twice. However the clock was adjusted back again, so it never looked off on the machine. Fixed the batch and this behavior disappeared with it. Hillarious to have that run for years…
