hi,

thinking about it, it *might* be related to cronjobs:

> PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

> 00 07    * * *   root   /root/bin/do_i_run_res.sh mysql-server && /root/bin/backup.mysql.sh > /dev/null

can you confirm my suspicion? shall i still open a bugzilla?

thanks,
raoul
