Colleagues, I wonder why the "/usr/sbin/freebsd-update cron" process sometimes runs in several copies (possibly corrupting the database). It's started from cron at 6am every day, why should it multiply like that? It's strange that the script itself does not have any safeguards against this. 645 ?? Ss 0:05,99 /usr/sbin/cron -s 59207 ??
