Is it during a burst > of cron-spawned activity? It doesn't crash during a burst of cron activity, no. It doesn't occur at exactly the same time each day, it moves around by a few minutes each time. If you reboot manually it'll crash at the same time the next day (ie, 24 hours after the reboot). Here's the log of reboots during April. You see it crashed every day between the first and the 16th. Then it didn't crash for 10 days. I rebooted manually on the 26th at 20:19, and it started crashing every day again. # last -f /var/log/wtmp.1 reboot reboot ~ Tue Apr 30 20:17 reboot ~ Mon Apr 29 20:17 reboot ~ Sun Apr 28 20:19 reboot ~ Sat Apr 27 20:19 reboot ~ Fri Apr 26 20:19 reboot ~ Fri Apr 26 19:49 reboot ~ Tue Apr 16 11:10 reboot ~ Tue Apr 16 11:03 reboot ~ Mon Apr 15 18:33 reboot ~ Sun Apr 14 18:37 reboot ~ Sat Apr 13 18:41 reboot ~ Fri Apr 12 18:45 reboot ~ Thu Apr 11 18:48 reboot ~ Thu Apr 11 18:00 reboot ~ Tue Apr 9 19:50 reboot ~ Mon Apr 8 19:54 reboot ~ Sun Apr 7 19:58 reboot ~ Sat Apr 6 19:00 reboot ~ Fri Apr 5 18:58 reboot ~ Thu Apr 4 18:58 reboot ~ Wed Apr 3 19:02 reboot ~ Tue Apr 2 19:00 reboot ~ Mon Apr 1 19:00 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
