I'm running an OS X box with rsnapshot from launchd.

I have the hourly's set up on 4 hour intervals and the daily's
running once a day everyday at 10pm except for Sunday. The hourly
and the daily's get created fine. But then something launches the
daily rsnapshot again at 2 am and it runs every minute until 3 am.
My logs aren't telling me what is launching it... I checked all the
users' crontab and nothing is in there. I stopped launchd last night
to see if rsnapshot still launched at 2am and it did, so its not
launchd causing the problem. Any ideas on what I may be overlooking
that would launch the program?

It sounds like something cron would do if there was a crontab like this:
* 2 * * * rsnapshot daily

I don't know much about cron on OS X, but on other systems there are
cron config files in places like
/etc/crontab
/etc/cron.*/*
/var/cron/tabs/*

There is normally a cron log file somewhere like /var/cron/log or
/var/log/cron. That should hopefully say what commands are being run,
when, and by which user.
