I agree with Igor.
My guess is that your jobs (job procs _j0**_) became hung on while running some jobs for some reason and no further jobs could run (just happened to me this week...jobs NOT broken, jobs NOT failing, but jobs *hung* using ALL of the job procs so no new jobs would start.) On db bounce they corrected themselves (as Igor explained) and are scheduled to *your* defined NEXT time. Their failure/hang is strange but can happen.

Spend some time reviewing dba_jobs view and select ***sysdate*** from dual; and you will see things are fine.

PS You could spend all day (or more) trying to find out why they hung, but a TAR might be best for this...why bother unless its regular problem?

Igor,

I did check for broken jobs before I ran it manually. None of the jobs had the flag set to Y. The only other trace files I have are generated from a utl_smtp procedure that we have. Sometimes the end-users format the e-mail addresses wrong and the job fails. That is all. This is a known issue that I've asked the developers to fix and catch in the application before it reaches the database.
