We have a number of Tower 32/650s running 020101.

Today I have discovered that two of them had multiple
cron processes running.

One had two crons and the other had three !

A ps on the one with three showed that the two I would
think were the extras actually had a command of "etc/cron"
while the original had "/etc/cron".

This is a serious problem on our system as we use cron
extensively.

From the limited occurance of this problem (2 out of 90 so far)
I would have to suspect something like power fail recovery.

Anyone got any ideas ?
