moonloader · 02-05-2004, 05:21 AM

hi!since 2 days I get kernel warning message below

kernel: application bug: crond(7820) has SIGCHLD set to SIG_IGN but calls wait().
kernel: (see the NOTES section of 'man 2 wait'). Workaround activated.
this message is kernel warning log and comes while crond runs hourly

I use MDK 9.2 kernel 2.4.25pre7

I don't know what can cause this warning,but i do know,there was not such kind of warning before

can sombody help please?

Most likely its a cron problem. Did you recently update your kernel? Have you tried updating crond?

as far as I remember yes I installed kernel-2.24.250pre7 and kernel-2.6.2.0rc3mdk at the same day *for testing*and kernel-2.24.250pre6 was already installed.no I didn't update crontabs.now I uninstalled all the kernels what I had installed before mentioned above and I am watching the x window,cron works nicely and I don't see any errors for the moment I mean the the error which appered before
