Package: munin-node Version: 1.2.3-1 Severity: normal When installing munin-node as part of the debian-edu installation on a qemu virtual machine, the munin-node cron job take so long to run (or the clock runts too fast) that several cronjobs are started in parallel, slowly bringing the machine to a complete halt.
The problem is that the cron job do not check if another cron job is running before starting a new task. The first cron job is still running when the next starts, slowing down the machine even further making sure both are still running when the third cron job starts, and so no. I suggest teaching the cron job to check if the same cron job is still running as another process, and either kill the previous one, or not start when the script already is running. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-686 Locale: LANG=nb_NO, LC_CTYPE=nb_NO (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages munin-node depends on: ii libnet-server-perl 0.87-3 An extensible, general perl server ii perl 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii procps 1:3.2.1-2 The /proc file system utilities -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
