Hi everybody!
I finally installed NetBSD 1.5 on my VAXserver 3100. It is running
pretty good so far, I guess.
The only thing I noticed as I just telnetted to the machine was that
cron was stealing all of the processor time, see the "top" output:
load averages: 1.33, 1.18, 1.11 14:30:47
11 processes: 1 runnable, 9 sleeping, 1 on processor
CPU states: 18.0% user, 0.0% nice, 82.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle
Memory: 3252K Act, 4220K Inact, 116K Wired, 11M Free, 49M Swap free
PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND

97 root 2 0 80K 344K sleep 0:01 0.00% 0.00% syslogd
1 root 10 0 280K 164K sleep 0:00 0.00% 0.00% init
178 root 2 0 72K 396K sleep 0:00 0.00% 0.00% inetd
Is this a bug, or is cron always taking taking so long?
