On all our systems running SunOS 4.0.1 (Sun 4/280's, Sun 4/110's) cron stopped working at the cutover to daylight savings time on Apr 1 at 1:59am. (We have a cron entry that timestamps every minute and the last timestamp is from 1:59am) I killed the cron process, rm'ed /var/spool/cron/FIFO and started new crons everywhere. Did anyone else notice this, and is this a known problem? I haven't looked at the sources yet, but it's almost as if it was waiting for 2am to come, but it never did since it jumped to 3am. :-) --Fuat -- INTERNET: fuat@columbia.edu U.S. MAIL: Columbia University BITNET: fuat@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu Center for Computing Activities USENET: ...!rutgers!columbia!cunixc!fuat 712 Watson Labs, 612 W115th St. PHONE: (212) 854-5128 New York, NY 10025
