Hi All.
I monitor number of crond processes on my machines. On one of them I have 2 crond processes for a short period of time (few minutes) everyday. It is at the same time when one jobs starts to run - a sphinx indexer.
What are the possible causes of crond running a child crond process?
cron fork()s child processes to invoke the actual jobs under; this is normal behavior.
