I am currently using an IBC XLA 80486 based system running SCO/IBC Xenix 2.3.2,
and am having problems with cron - it refuses to start each day's jobs
automatically. I am currently having to do an "at" command each morning to get
cron to recognize the fact that it has queued jobs, after which cron will
continue to work the rest of the day. If this is not done, no cron jobs will
be performed. Why? I've checked to make sure that the cron process itself is
still resident within the system, and it is, with a PID of 27. This indicates
to me that cron isn't dying and regenerating. I've also run a log on cron
activities, and there is nothing peculiar; all normal. How can I get cron to
work each day without giving it a kickstart?
