Is it possible to crash a system just by running the find command? I<br>connected to a machine running CentOS 5.0 x86_64 and issued a command:<br><br>find / -name filename -print<br><br>Now, this machine is not responding to a ping. I cannot see what
<br>happened until I get to the box tomorrow morning. Although I seldom<br>do a find / , I had never seen this sort of problem before.<br><br>Akemi</blockquote><div><br>

Unless you're taking things like disk errors, corrupt memory, etc.<br>
<br>
Output on the console should give you a good indication of why<br>
the system is going down ..<br>
