Hi all!

I got a cronjob, that periodically checks if another job is running.
Occasionally I get the following error message:

----- Forwarded message from Cron Daemon -----

>From daemon Tue Apr 28 16:42:01 1998
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 1998 16:42:01 +0200 (CEST)

ps: kvm_getprocs: Cannot allocate memory

----- End of forwarded message from Cron Daemon -----


The script is as follows:

-------------------- snip ---------------------------

#!/bin/sh

PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin"; export PATH
IFS='
'

umask 007

if [ `ps ax | fgrep ascom | fgrep -v fgrep | fgrep -v ascom_read_start | wc -l` -eq 0 ]
then
    cd /var/log/ascom
    nohup /usr/local/web-tools/ascom_read >>ascom_start.log 2>>ascom_start.err &
fi

-------------------- snip ---------------------------


I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE on that machine.
