RE: {bb} OFF TOPIC Procs report Cron down!

["North, Walter" <wnorth@state.mt.us>]

Dirk:

Somewhere in the cron stuff there is a FIFO which is created when you start
cron, but you have to remove the FIFO then start, sometimes after abnormal
events.

On my Digital Unix box it is in /var/adm/cron.

good luck
