I started using my poor man's UPS a while back; when after downloading a
20MB+ file nag brownout. When I restarted my computer fsck gave a lot of
errors and the damn file disapeared!
With the crontab thing, when I restart I only get one error about an inode's
DTIME.
Anyway, I'll just leave the darned thing there, the only problem is that it
fills up the log.
