sa-update?

[Gene Heskett <ge...@verizon.net>]

Greetings;

I fired off this script, named sa-update.cron, but which has been disabled in 
the crontab since someone here said it was a waste of time, and now it seems 
to be hung.  Running it as root this time.

It is now pitch dark.  If you proceed, you will likely fall into a pit.

That turned out to be pure CRS.  When I wrote that script, I had put a 
sleep(rand(7200)) at the top in order to randomize the actual run time, 
tryinjg to be good to the servers.  My bad, give me the usual 30 lashes with 
a wet noodle.

The logs are silent, and it ran very quickly when I killed the sleep.

Maybe you want to run sa-update -D or check your logs for hints why it 
may be hung ...
