The SUSE "run-crons" script is what runs the scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, etc. It runs each script in order, and doesn't run the next one until the previous one finishes. So, what I did was put a script named "00randomdelay" in each of the directories with this content: #!/bin/sh # Delay

Well the first step was to spread things around time wise so everything is not happening at once. I'm going to see what that produces as far as change goes. But I see something called suse.de-check-battery that I'm pretty sure doesn't need to execute on a daily basis, or at all for that matter. B

Account locking for Linux via PAM
