I have a perl script that runs every hour. It's in user 'joe' crontab.

Lately the cron job has been failing:

Out of memory!

Now, this is a simple perl script that reads a couple of log files.

When cron kicks off a job, does it run as 'joe' or as daemon?

Do the /etc/login.conf values affect cron jobs ?

Thanks,

Joe
