I noticed if I run kcron and then quit I get the following message to the console: "Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy" What is this all about and is it something to be concerned about" Thanks, Terry -- SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) ---- 2.4.20-4GB-athlon --- Wed 03/10/04 17:25 5:25pm up 30 days 20:10, 3 users, load average: 0.29, 0.24, 0.12

Running it as root, you will notice it says it's Reusing existing ksycoca, I think (as root) it's trying to kill kbuildksycoca (which is needed by other running kde programs) when you quit kcron. Mutexes are there to stop races within a program when multiple accesses occur. Perhaps someone has a better explanation. Nothing to worry about, you don't get them if you execute kcron as the user you logged into KDE with. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.
