I must have done something to cause this, but I > dont know what. How to I turn this off? Urk. Is this a -stable or a -current system? If the latter, go back to an earlier kernel. If the former, is cron the _only_ process dying like this? The 'right' way to fix this is to build a cron with debugging enabled and then start it and attach to it with gdb. This should trap when the signal is delivered and let you see why it's dropping out. If it's in a system call, you've got a kernel funny, if it's somewhere else then cron has been broken, and if it's in a completely bizarre location then I'd suggest swapping your memory around. > Dennis -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
