A jail that has this problem does it consistently, jails without the problem (on the same machine, same FreeBSD userland/kernel) don't have the problem consistently. In these cases, sending cron the TERM signal just doesn't do anything. You have to wait for at least one minute after jail startup for cron to get into this unTERMable state. I haven't had time to do further debugging on this, but I figured I'd pitch in with what I've experienced. Cheers, Stef
