I've noticed over the last couple years that with every version of OpenSolaris, from 2008.05 through build 134, at times my root crontab spontaneously deletes every line from the last comment (# symbol) and above. Only the lines below the last # remain. No, not just the comments disappear, but ALL above the last comment.
These have all been clean installs, and impacts multiple computers. I have no explanation for when it happens--doesn't seem to be a crash or other non-graceful shutdown. cron just seems to blow up at very random times. I've had affected systems be fine for many months, then suddenly my root cron has one or two lines left. No one has access to my home computer, and few have any type of access to my work system. Very odd. I'd submit a bug, but have nothing to offer but the information in this message. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
