Hi list, I have a little question about some thing that happens in Linux (it happen in SuSE and in RH): When I boot the machine its all fine but in 15 minutes (aprox) there is a lot of disk activity for a while (just some minutes). Even if I don't do anything with the machine. It appears to happen every time I use the box (only some minutes after booted) Know some body why it happen? Happens it to somebody? (if not I will think that I'm crazy so don't let me alone) Thanks, Martin. Sounds like the normal cron daily tasks that would normally be run just after midnight (as per SuSE standard setup) are being run just after you boot your computer.
I have this happen to me, unless I'm still talking on a MUCK till the wee hours of the morning :-) and the worst thing about it is how the cron jobs manage to completely halt all http traffic. I know these finds etc are usefull, but why have them in cron.daily as standard? Why not have them in cron.weekly instead? Anyone have a reason why this wouldn't be a good idea, cos I can't think of one... :-) Have Fun, Jim. -- James McBoyle /"\ james.mcboyle@sun.com \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Software Engineer X Against HTML Mail Integrated Software QED / \
