I have installed 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 on several computers, and it works fine in general, but we have encountered one important problem that has forced us to roll back the kernel to the previous release on our most important computer that prepares weather forecast graphics several times each day for a Web site running on this computer (http://ahlquist.met.fsu.edu). We have a cron job that runs a bash shell script which calls Perl scripts and other bash scripts every 15 minutes, checking whether new data files are available. This script has been running fine for months. It even runs fine with version 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 of the kernel as long as it is run in a terminal window. Unfortunately, the script locks up the whole computer near the end of its work when it is run as a cron job. It is not obvious what is different about what is happening at the lock-up time compared to ran fine a minute of two earlier. When we rolled back the kernel to the previous version, everything works fine as it has for months under earlier version of Fedora Core. Our Perl scripts process data files with two compiled Fortran programs, followed by a graphics utility to prepare graphs for the Web site. Is it possible that the new kernel has soemthing new involving SE Linux that is causing the lock-up? But, if it is an SE Linux issue, why would the application work fine when run in a terminal window but fail when run as a cron job? Thanks for your hard work.
