I'm not sure how to fix it but I've found where portmanager crashes when run from cron, the code is: if( !strncmp( getenv("TERM"), "xterm", 5 ) && isatty(fileno(stdout)) ) { stringSize = strlen( id ) + 1 + strlen( VERSION ) + 1; xtermTitle = malloc( stringSize ); xtermTitle[0] = 0; strcat( xtermTitle, id ); strcat( xtermTitle, " " ); strcat( xtermTitle, VERSION ); printf( "%c]0;%s%c", '\033', xtermTitle, '\007' ); free( xtermTitle ); } This is used to put information in the xterm title screen while portmanager is running, I don't know enough about cron to have a clue how to fix this except to remove it and I don't want to do that. Anyone have any ideas? This particualr code snippet is from portmanager/portmanager.c around line 137.... -Mike ps. I've cross posted this to freebsd-hackers because it is a coding problem, so you may want to remove freebsd-questions from any replies. . _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
