This may be a vague question but I'll be logged into the console of the server (Suse 8.2) and this message will pop up every few minutes.

grog# mutex destroy failure: device or resource busy

I have no idea what it means and my searches on google show that it could apply to all kinds of odd things. Everything works fine, like clock work, so it's really just a mild annoyance. Can anyone point me in a direction to figure out where this is coming from?

A mutex is part of Pthreads. Specifically the message means that the thread is calling the pthread_mutex_destroy function when the mutex is still locked, possibly by self or my another thread. Since you are logged into the console, this could be a daemon. Unfortunately, the application does not identify itself. -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 Alright, well that's a place to start anyway.
