Hi. Backgrounding *a* process is certainly reasonable, but rather unnecessary for cron jobs. What's wrong is backgrounding many hundreds or thousands of processes. That's just stupid and that's what the code is (almost certainly) doing. And all the symptoms are exactly those of a machine which is thrashing as a result of having spawned far too many resource-intensive processes. The & absolutely should not be used this way. -Craig
