And nothing in the .bash_history(s)? To eliminate all possibilities, were there any system maintenance processes or activities underway when this occurred? Does your app have any functions at all that apply to the filing system? p On 11 April 2010 21:27, Karin Moscovici wrote: > It happened t

It happened three times on three different customer sites. It does not reproduce, but due to the different places where it has occurred I assume this is not a human error. On Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 11:54 AM, Pid * wrote: > On 9 April 2010 22:16, Karin Moscovici > wrote: > > > Thanks Chris. Indeed
