There's no accounting entry for the first job even though there is
a full logfile, but since accounting log updates are buffered, then
that's not really a major surprise.

All the timestamps on the log files and accounting are correct; the only
time the system clock is corrected on this system is once a day during
during the night from a NTP source and that job had already run a couple
of hours previously. There was nothing strange in this NTP update job
log file either.

In addition, the queue entry number from the accounting record for the
second job didn't match the entry number from the submit command in
the first job.

Thanks for the suggestions however, I do appreciate them.

Simon.
