YOU ARE RIGHT! it is intermentent.
Try this (for me) on those boxes (before you try /etc/rc.d/cron restart:
echo 'sig_stop=SIGKILL' > /etc/rc.conf.d/cron
you arn't running ezjail, are you? could there be anything in ezjail
that would do this?
yes:
boot someone in jail.
/etc/rc.d/cron restart
or killall -SIGTERM cron works.
wait (for what?). ?? controlling terminal to quit? the first cron parse?
some time (I went to lunch) and guess what. SIGTERM won't stop it.
