What does it mean for the minute parameter in a crontab entry to begin with a "-" ?
for example, Kcron created this... -10 2,14 /path/to/some/script The script in question calls rsync. I've been having a problem recently that a large number of instances of rsync get started on this client, along with an equivalent number of instances of rsync and sshd on the server side, resulting in a DoS. When I run the script on its own though, it runs fine. Any clues?
