I found some services like apache2, chkrootkit will put the scripts in this dir automatically. are they for system cleaning purpose? The purpose of cron.daily is literally to run scripts daily for *whatever purpose each script has*. If you have questions about what a specific script does, try looking at it, as it's just an executable script (usually sh or bash). If you're still confused then ask a specific question about a specific script. Cheers, Andy I also would like to know when cron.daily scripts run. Greg's command does not appear to reveal the time for that script. I ran Greg's command and got the same result. Best regards, Fred

Wait, reinstall? This was sounding a bit like a state I've managed to get the system into at various times in the past, where everything's wedged hard (the lights remain but won't toggle, for example), and a hard power-cycle was necessary to get out of it - but I was always able to boot back up and run the system normally afterwards; no reinstall was required. What is it you observe which leads you to conclude that a reinstall is needed at this point? I tried running the screensaver,but the problem remained. Has anybody a solution? Not with that little information. The only things I can suggest would be to find ways of getting more information. Depending on how the system is configured, there might be copies of the logs from before the freeze left even after new logs are begun when you boot up again. Some of them (from X-related logs to the ones holding dmesg or similar) may be relevant, if you can find them. If the boot process does wind up blowing away those logs, you may still be able to get access to them by booting to a live-media environment and looking at the hard drive from there. Failing that, you may be able to get some information out by setting up a process to dump the contents of those logs to another location every so often in a loop, waiting for the problem to reproduce, and then checking that location after the next boot. However, if the problem happens abruptly enough and is a hard-enough freeze that there's no time for anything to get logged (never mind for anything to be copied from the logs to another location) before all processing effectively halts, none of those are likely to help you. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
