Public bug reported:
-bash: ~ $ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
I'm not sure where exactly the problem lies as I haven't been able to
capture much data, but I'll do my best here.
I have a system that runs several cronjobs once a minute and several
more once every five. Since my upgrade it has been crashing at random
every 1-5 days, and when I say crashing, I mean that while the system is
up, unless you already have a login you cannot login again, and it
stacks cron processes, infinitely, ssh times out, and if you're on the
console and try to login it stops right before giving you a shell. I
don't know which piece of the login process specifically becomes broken,
and I'm reticent to assign this to bash or any specific shell as it it
happening to everyone (and not all the same shell). So, when things
break, I am forced to reboot, gracefully if the system doesn't already
have too many open files... hard otherwise.
What else can I collect to start troubleshooting this issue?
