Could anyone please tell me what might cause a process to enter an I status or idle status. I had two cron jobs which did not run a few nights ago, specifically the daily run output and aide. The next day when I looked at the status of the jobs with the ps aux command, it stated that the status was I or idle for both of these cron jobs. I was unable to kill the jobs even with kill -9 and had to reboot the server. Now everything is fine and the cron jobs ran again last night; however, I would like to know what might cause this so I can prevent it from happening again. Thank you, Michelle
