Maybe you've got the same weirdness as me. Crons FAILs in the syslog because it got started twice. Indeed the whole init runs kind of twice for me, i could not track it finally yet. It's just that all rc2 script get launched twice.
So far noone had any idea, it seems to be not trivial. I suspect this happened when i canceled the final step in the upgrade to the new sysv-rc dependency boot (because some packages were not compliant yet). But i can not nail it down. You can verify this by carefully reading the timestamps of syslog, or better, with a little tracker in /etc/rc.loical, which is the place to put cutsom boot scripts: # SYSTEM: # Debian Sid amd64, stock kernel 2.6.30-2-amd64 # sysv-rc: 2.87 # initscripts: 2.87 log=/tmp/log echo "Runlevel: $RUNLEVEL" >> $log echo "PPID: " $PPID >> $log echo "Process:" >> $log; ps e -p $PPID >> $log If you look up that file after boot, you see the runlevel and and some infos about the actually process. I can see 2 sets of entries ... :P but the infos did not help in solving the problem. I'm thankful for new ideas ! If this all is not the case for you then please forget it :) g.m -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
