 |
|
I have a cron.weekly folder with some scripts. The weekly cron script is set to run as follows
| Code: | | 19 4 * * 6 root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly |
When this time comes, at least one of the scripts executes at the prescribed time and then it keeps executing every 10 minutes going forward. The file at /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly is 0 in size.
What might be causing it to keep on running?
When I try to look at the metalog file /var/log/everything/current, I can't because it's gone missing! What might be causing this file to vanish? |

| Also, docker doesn't want to start after reboot. Without the log available, I have no idea why. |

| Could no disk space in / trip up cron? It appears this may be the cause of all the weirdness. |

| Many programs are poorly tested with regard to disk space exhaustion, so I would not be surprised if that was the explanation here. |
