Re: Why won't it die??

Do /home/me/Unreal3.1.4/ircd and /home/me/services/wrecked auto-daemonize themselves? In other words, do they automatically go to the background if you type the commands in manually, or do you have to do a CTRL-Z and then bg to background them?

You might try adding an ampersand (&) after the command to see if that fixes it.

Yes, both these use background processes, the binaries put them back there automagically. Good thinking anyways!	[reply]

Is this a root cron or a user cron? `sudo` on my machine give me some funky errors and such if I run it when I'm root. Perhaps a `su - username` instead of the `sudo` would work? If it's a user cron, do you have to authenticate your sudo session with a password? If so, the cron-spawned shell is probably sitting there waiting for password input on `STDIN`. It'll eventually time out, but since the `STDIN` stream doesn't belong to a TTY that can give you input, it'll sit there. Hope this helps!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
