Re: long timeouts on shutdown/log off

["Dylan Cuthbert" <dylan at q-games dot com>]

Ok, here are the ps results... I can see three cron tasks with the I field
set (Interactive?) which is very odd as my backup script doesn't have any
input (I've attached the script and the output)

maybe cron isn't able to close the shells it creates to run the jobs
properly?

Any ideas?
