System name: the-other-woman
Type and version: SPARC/Classic 7.6Q (12 update(s) to same version)
Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
look at root's crontab entries.
What's wrong:
37 * * * * /usr/lib/sendmail -q
What should have happened:
probably something more like what happens on other athena platforms
42 * * * * root sleep `echo $ADDR | awk -F. '{ print $4 * 13 }' `; /usr/lib/sendmail -q
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The Sun version looks like a good way to hose the mail hubs, if
the mailhubs fall off the net, and the all of the Suns try to
run their queues simultaneously.
Of course $ADDR isn't set, because rc.conf is one of the few
places that the IP address isn't stored :-(
