I have a cron job that (should) run every morning at 01.00 to run slocate,
to update the locate database.
For now two days, I have found my machine impossible to use, when I begin
at 06.00; constant HD activity, and everything taking ages to happen.
So I ctrl-alt-f1ed to the console, did a ps -a and found I have about fifty
or sixty pids for crond and slocate !
no wonder it was busy.
Any idea where this may come from ?
All worked well up to three days ago, the time/date is corect, and I'm
running out of ideas.
TIA,
Cheers,
Ron the Frog, on the banks of the Paraguay River.
