Cron spawns...



When I got to work this morning, unlocking my X screen took an enormous
amount of time, and the rest of the system was incredibly sluggish. Top
revealed several copies of cron and a couple of copies of smbd running,
and they pretty much had 100% of the CPU time split between them. Has
anyone seen this before, and if so, how did you cure it?

Incidentally, I'm running a pure slink system.

Thanks,

JDM

Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that
there must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one
on the other end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with
a silver-handled knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony
