Hi,

I'm using FreeBSD ( 1.0 I assume ) and INN 1.4 for about two weeks.
Everything works fine, except for the news-batching via send-uucp.

If I start this shellscript by hand from a terminal, it works and
finishes, but started from cron, it locks somewhere and have to be
killed with 'kill -1 <PID>'.

My  crontab-entry for news:

sh -c /usr/local/enws/send-uucp system1

Anybody know why this happens from cron only ?

TIA,

Michael
