Hi! The wierdest thing just happened on my system last night. According to all
logs (messages, UUCP, news,) at 7:00pm last night my system just stopped
executing Cron tasks. No Errors, just stopped. Then at 10:30am this morning
it decided to run things that had queued up. I have a news.daily script that's
supposed to run at 2:30 am. Instead it ran at 10:30am. UUCP started up just
like normal. INND seems O.K. too. Anyone seen this?
