Gary and Vince After sending my previous post, I started reading some more
about memory leaks. It appears that cron jobs (if poorly coded) can
sometimes be the cause. With that in mind, I am attaching both the cron,
and the process it  starts so maybe you can pick up something. I am also
having a problem with the crontab; if I issue the command crontab -l  I get
the following at the end:

The cron:
# m h  dom mon dow   command
[email protected]
59 23 * * * /home/bin/./weewxbackup

I want to edit this crontab to stop running the following process, but when
I issue crontab -e I get a generic crontab, not the one I wish to edit.


The process (weewxbackup in /home/bin)
#!/bin/bash
#This script zips and backs up to web site
#Following line added to prevent "TERM invronment variable not set" error
export TERM=${TERM:-dumb}
clear

echo "Backing up weewx.sdb"

cd /home/weewx/archive
sudo cp weewx.sdb weewxpi2.cpy
sudo gzip weewxpi2.cpy
sudo lftp -e 'put /home/weewx/archive/weewxpi2.cpy.gz; bye' -u xxxxx,
xxxxxxxftp.xxxabcd.org
sudo rm weewxpi2.cpy.gz

echo "Done - weewxpi2.sdb zipped and uploaded to xxxabcd.org"
