Did the operator uid change or perhaps shared with another uid? Check both `id operator` and `id 2`. Secondly, why did this stop? Seems like a weird question to ask, but since this script is supposed to run every 11 minutes, there should not be a reason for this to stop, if there's a race condition. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
