Hello all, I have a shell script that I've put in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory of a box to do some fscking when needed. The script is straightforward, there are not any complicated control structures or anything like that. However, at one point it had a sleep statement in it that would go to sleep, but when the required number of seconds elapsed, it wouldn't wake up again. I've since rewritten the script to not require it, but I was wondering what's up with that? Is this a known problem?
