Public bug reported: In the middle of a script run by cron, I'm restarting the cron service (service cron restart).
The script finishes just fine on 14.04 (and keeps doing whatever is after the cron restart). On 16.04, it kills the script meaning that it kills all its children. Behavior should be reverted where children are not killed upon restart. ** Affects: cron (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cron in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1527348 Title: restarting cron kills children on 16.04 - did not kill on 14.04 Status in cron package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In the middle of a script run by cron, I'm restarting the cron service (service cron restart).
