Have you added anything particular to /etc/crontab? How about any crontab(1) files stored in /var/cron/tabs? Any files in /var/at/jobs or /var/at/spool? atrun(8) should only be invoked by cron(8). at(1) is the user interface to the atrun service. Unless you or your users need the atrun service, you could simply add the # character at the beginning of the atrun line in /etc/crontab. There's no need to restart cron(8) after editing /etc/crontab, on the next minute cron(8) will notice the change in timestamps and re-read /etc/crontab. Now, in your case I would first try and understand why you have so many cron processes running, ps -adux would be helpful, and next kill them all using killall -TERM cron , and if failing that, kill them using killall -KILL cron Delete any files in /var/at/jobs and in /var/at/spool. Finally, if you're convinced your /etc/crontab and any files in /var/cron/tabs are sound, then start cron again using /etc/rc.d/cron start -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Jul 3 09:58:08 2014 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) (using TLSv1 with cipher ADH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id C3FD534A for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Thu, 3 Jul 2014 09:58:08 +0000 (UTC) Received: from mail-qa0-x233.google.com (mail-qa0-x233.google.com [IPv6:2607:f8b0:400d:c00::233]) (using TLSv1 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA (128/128 bits)) (Client CN "smtp.gmail.com", Issuer "Google Internet Authority G2" (verified OK)) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 7449722AC for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Thu, 3 Jul 2014 09:58:08 +0000 (UTC) Received: by mail-qa0-f51.google.com with SMTP id j7so10015812qaq.38 for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Thu, 03 Jul 2014 02:58:07 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=seibercom.net; s=google; h=date:from:to:subject:message-id:reply-to:organization:mime-version :content-type; bh=/dA+K8AfDAvEthqoMWsEgknk+2OXPl+4c5qxvg8+x9M=; b=MleHzi/w7A16XrH54mTLXNNx2GWn7MlPqKaJR8nm6WcG5xvqZVtNyAAwK0W3WfroVc H/5Hr6g9fVT6i8nmQhTOc5jVPFpd0I6dcn4kq5K7h4261G+ppsD2Vb03aUMo7WLo8tUB fvyHuilgEpZuA/bgUSEDVoWAOCDRr8CAnd2IQ= X-Google-DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=1e100.net; s=20130820; h=x-gm-message-state:date:from:to:subject:message-id:reply-to :organization:mime-version:content-type; bh=/dA+K8AfDAvEthqoMWsEgknk+2OXPl+4c5qxvg8+x9M=; b=nG89flm+DELFxA8exvHRUQk5wglQYzbXNcTkefTZu2ZDCR6VRy5HIeCVJwt4gAVPn/ 69CNgFIXRE6CEbG+DZVCHUBUBt8fLvj4QkAbJhUZW+I/mJOjUbr5qF390cOLM27VBn8/ wA6Mk6N7c4rnaVDjoGr55Qp2uaMDvsWo7DvTw6X1RE4amilNC+pfx/Uh2Efy+3tYPNI1 l2Y8LlNpurHkfs6mmUHHl/d7lgGqMMCj70eKImS4YaFpUGL5Y+4tuJ82OEBquEY+8yTg QDf3O4qVXUzuDlDRLE92j+UKY6t37LVI+DxNBPRRYg5j7Use3zc6FTWwtfTstTBe3AKC HUqg== X-Gm-Message-State: ALoCoQkEChneFQyd0cMaBjsXGukUhQA6H/QdTB0JSk5/qFCLJOZlu6N0WXoJSw8T7L7jMOUmMol/ X-Received: by 10.224.7.202 with SMTP id e10mr5441277qae.15.1404381487448; Thu, 03 Jul 2014 02:58:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from scorpio.seibercom.net (cpe-076-182-104-150.nc.res.rr.com.
