Hi,
I'm running a webserver with Fedora Core 1 and have troubles with an (yet unkown) daily running cronjob. It seems that a process started from /etc/cron.daily at 4:02h in the morning freezes the linux kernel so the server returns back to work by a hardware reset only... :-(
Unfortunatly I cannot find out which one is the process responsible for the server crash. I tried to run each job from console myself but everything was fine, no errors or kernel freezes.
Is you system running the SMP kernel??
I had this on my P4 Hyperthreading PC..
It would apprear that the problem is caused by something that RH has added to the Kernel.. The way I fixed it was to download the standerd kernel source from kernel.org and then using the FC1 .config file I built a new SMP kernel.. Since then it has been rock solid for over a month now.. Not a single crash or hang..
Maybe give it a try..
Later..
