I experienced this problem at about the time this thread started, and
execution of /bin/true from cron once an hour _seems_ to have solved my
crontabs problems.
However, both 'at' and 'batch' seem now to have gone to sleep. Commands
deposited in either of them sit there until removed.
Is this a problem anyone has experienced, and is it related _directly_
to the cron question? Does anyone have a fix?
I am running SCO Xenix 2.3.1.
