Anything I could check in Perl if I was to get the RC=139?

Get the Unslung folks to have a look at the core dumps? Beforehand, I would check any bug tracking tool they have to see if someone has already logged anything concerning a similar pb.

Hi,

I was running my script directly from cron around 01:00am every morning, and noticed that when ever I tested the script from the command line it would never ever fail. Chnaged cron to run my script every 15 minutes (long enough to allow the previous backup to complete) and each one would fail. So I installed the atd daemon and tried having cron send the command to start my script to at, like so:

echo "mydirvish.sh" | at now

IMHO the usual way to use at (I do it in some other placed on my VDR server). Well, since I changed that not a single failure at all. I dont know what caused the problem, but it seems that the machine would run the script OK, then something would fail, and from then on until the next reboot every backup would fail. As the core was from Perl I assume that or something it relied on was screwed. But running via at seems to solve the problem completely.

I still need to see if I can find someone who is interested in looking at the cores I have.

Thanks again for all the tips and help.

Cheers Brian
