Hi, I'd just like to give some credit to the freebsd developers for a
job well done.
A user on our system ( freebsd 5.2.1 smp ) managed with a runaway
script to start up 500 intensive processes, raising the load average
to about 200.
We managed to remotely, over ssh get a somewhat responsive sessi

As per subject, I need to do this urgently, but with minimum downtime.
Will it be ok just to cvsup, rebuild kernel and world, mergemaster,
(etc) like any normal update? Or do I have to do a reinstall? Any help

Hi,
Since updating our server to 5.4-STABLE, I've noticed a very strange
problem with cron.
Sometimes it just decides to stop, for no apparent reason. It stops at

cronjob.
There are no messages about this in any logfile, it just stop
