[rancid] Rancid running numerous times for each group? Getting ~40 config fetcher email alerts for same group in a night

That looks right to me. Should kick off every night at midnight. Which it's doing. An entire run takes about 4 hours or so. All logs/emails from a nightly run arrive within that time-frame - 12am - 4am.
