[Siproxd-users] cron job starting siproxd

[Craig G. <cr...@tw...>]

I have a problem with siproxd dying periodically- after a few days I can
still log into it but noboy outside shows up as being logged in, and nobody
outside can see me logged in.

Since a simple killall and restart of the siproxd executable fixes the
problem, I've put it into a script file that is called daily by cron. The
problem is, after cron restarts the server, I can no longer sign in to it-
I'm asked for a username and password even though I do not use any
authentication. If I manually run the script again, all is fine.

I can't find any log information that sheds light on this. Can anyone
suggest some differences that may be responsible between the environment
under cron and under a shell in which I've logged in as root, and how I can
get around it? I'm somewhat stumped.
