just a thought.

Can anyone think of a reason why when cron executes a script many more programs start (at least over 5), but when I run the script from a shell, I get the correct amount of programs running that I am expecting? I have a small script (see below) that scans a directory for .torrent files and then starts a btdownloadcurses instance for each file. If I start the script from the shell, and I have 2 .torrent files in that directory, then I get 2 instances of btdownloadcurses running. However, if cron runs this script then I get a lot more btdownloadcurses running than I expected and it pretty much makes the nslu2 crawl along (until I manage to kill the processes). Any thoughts what might be going on here? Thanks Adam #!/bin/sh for i in $(ls *.torrent); do /usr/bin/btdownloadcurses $i > /dev/null & done
