--on-success= chaining runs the same job 4 times

I figured job 041 would run then chain the next jobs until finished, but the same job 041 runs 4 times.

cron:
[root@esx41:/etc] cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
#min hour day mon dow command
1    1    *   *   *   /sbin/tmpwatch.py
1    *    *   *   *   /sbin/auto-backup.sh
0    *    *   *   *   /usr/lib/vmware/vmksummary/log-heartbeat.py
*/5  *    *   *   *   /sbin/hostd-probe ++group=host/vim/vmvisor/hostd-probe
00   1    *   *   *   localcli storage core device purge
*/2 * * * * /usr/lib/vmware/vsan/bin/vsanObserver.sh
* 23 * * 1,2,3,4,5 "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/jobs/041"

Re: --on-success= chaining runs the same job 4 times

Crontab guru says “At every minute past hour 23 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.”  The crontab line should be
0 23 * * 1,2,3,4,5 "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/jobs/041"
