Strange problems with run-parts



    Hi there !

    I have a very strange problem with my run-parts, when cron tries to execute the /etc/cron.daily tasks: when run-parts finish to
execute a task(in this case, alhsys_25_logs_radius), the task ends correctly(because a I put some 'echo hello' :)) ) but the run-parts
does not capture the finish state of its son. This is the output of "ps axef":
................................
13975 ?        S      0:00  \_ /USR/SBIN/CRON PWD=/ BOOT_FILE=/vmlinuz HOSTNAME=isp1 CONSOLE=/dev/console PREVLEVEL=N AUTOBOOT=YES runlevel=2 M
13977 ?      SW     0:00      \_ [run-parts]
16850 ?        Z      0:00      |   \_ [alhsys_25_logs_ <defunct>]
................................

    As you can the, the parent is doing, likely, wait for its son, the task alhsys_25_logs_radius; and the son has finished, because
it's a zombie process.

    This could be a problem of run-parts, or, kernel bug with the SIGCHLD signal?.

    Any ideas?

Un saludo a todos.
Javier.
