Hi all, About a month ago my machine locked up bigtime. It just stopped responding, and I could not find out what had happened. Just that a tremendous amount of processes were running under root. Loads of shells, vi's and crond's. I could only think "huh????" and press ctrl-alt-del (which then locked up everything, leaving RESET as last resort).
Now I found out what was the problem. Never, but I mean NEVER, put something stupid in root crontab like 55 11 * * * crontab -e > /backup/crontab.root crontab -l is much smarter... Urgggg.... Hurray for typos...
