When omd cp, omd mv or omd restore with a new site name ran into a conflict while adapting a file to the new site name and you chose install or restore, the helper files .orig and .rej were left next to the file. In etc/cron.d this broke the crontab of the site on the next omd start ("bad minute"). A leftover .orig could also make the new site run the cron jobs of the old site.

Both files are now always removed. To clean up an affected site, delete the *.orig and *.rej files in etc/cron.d and run omd reload crontab.
