Cron seems to be in a zombie state with 2 child process that are defunct:
#pstree 36728
-+= 36728 root /usr/sbin/cron
|--- 27892 calltech <defunct>
\--- 31124 root <defunct>
Also whenever I save a crontab I receive this error message:
#crontab -e
....
....
<shift+ZZ>
0481-120 The cron program may need to be started.
...however the cron process is already running!
There have been no patches applied to this server. It is a clone of a test
server and the test does not suffer the same issues. The result is that cron
jobs don't run<obviously>....kind of stumped. I have already searched the
archives. Any help offered is greatly appreciated!
