Jobs that are dying are: /usr/libexec/atrun >> /var/log/cron 2>&1 /usr/bin/nice -10 /usr/local/bin/zsh /root/bin/sendBarkMail.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 I also get this on virtually every shell-script that uses tar, leaving my filesystem littered with bsdtar.core files. Running these jobs from the command prompt works fine. Any suggestions on what may be causing them to die from cron? sendBarkMail.sh simply moves mails from one folder to another periodically Cheers Nik
