Multiple (thousands) of Cron Instances
Hey all,
I have a box running SUSE SLES 8 and in the past few months the box will randomly spawn thousands of instances of /USR/SBIN/CRON to the point where the box will lock up entirely. Upwards of 14000 instances! I imagine it's using up all of the available files that can be opened at one time and hanging the box. It seems to happen every few months. It's running Vixie cron, but the odd thing is I have 11 other boxes running the same OS, the same exact build and the same exact crontab and none of them are doing this. Does anyone any experience with this happening? Thanks. -Sys |
