I have been having troubles with crond. I add an entry into /var/cdron/tab/
then I deleted it about 10 mins after, but crond was still running the
process when there was no entry in the dir for the process and the only way
I could get it to behave itself was to kill crond and start it up again
crond seems to add the entries in on whiel running, but doesn't delete
them :(
I'm running 386bsd (Don't tell me to go to another *bsd please), on a 486/50
with 32 Megs of memory with all the latest patches.
