Cron runs multiple times based on number of vCPUs

[Ashin]

Hi, I find a problem while using node-cron.

The cron function is called multiple times based on the number of CPUs the server is running on.

For example - if the server has 4 cores - the function is called 4 times. If there are 2 cores it will be called 2 times.

When running in a local environment, it works perfectly as only one CPU is running at a time.
Please guide how to resolve this issue. We depend heavily on corn jobs.

I also had this problem but I decoupled the cron jobs into a single cpu worker. This way there are no replications

@0xayot
Thanks for the response. Can you please guide me how to achieve this?

This is what my worker file looks like.
I setup my build command to run the code in the file as a standalone node instance.

node src/cronworker.js
