hi, cron crashes my computer every day (usually at 6:26 AM when the cron.daily scripts are run). i tried 'run-parts --verbose /etc/cron.daily' (instead of the default 'run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily') and found out that the machine crashes during the execution of /etc/cron.daily/standard. i'm running woody (kernel 2.4.19 with the reiserfs quota patches applied) on a dual Pentium SMP machine, got /etc/cron.daily/standard from cron_3.0pl1-72_i386.deb and never modified it. i can't figure ou what part of the cron.daily/standard script causes the crash. it just crashes with no error/waring/message and all i can do is hit the reset button. sometimes though some strange things happen to /var/log/syslog at the time of the crash (i copied this from 'mcview /var/log/syslog' after the crash i caused by running 'run-parts --verbose /etc/cron.daily' this morning):
