Re: Duplicate appointments in cm

[Eric Sharakan - Sun High Performance Computing <Eric.Sharakan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't necessarily blame the pilot.  Make sure these duplicate entries are not 
due to the calendar server's caching of appointments.  At least under 
Sparc/Solaris/CDE, the rpc.cmsd daemon will cache calendar entries.  So, even if 
you completely replace your calendar file, some of your old appointments might 
persist.  It's happened to me.  You either need to signal the calendar server 
daemon, or (under Sparc/Solaris/CDE) you can use the sdtcm_convert command, 
which has the side-effect of flushing your cached appointments.

Hope this helps.
