Segfault from Cron
[1/4] from: krobillard:cox at: 1-Dec-2003 21:41
I'm trying to run a REBOL script from Cron (on RedHat 9) but it always causes
a segmentation fault. I've tried a number of experiments (running simple
scripts as various users, etc.) but the result is always the same. Has
anyone else experienced this?

I have rebol scripts being run by cron (on solaris) daily for
years now. maybe some more on the script would help

Hi Karl,
Check to be sure you are running the 2.5.6 Core (or SDK or Command built on
2.5.6).
There was a memory bug in the exit code that once caused this to happen
from time to
time. (The return point in the launch code got garbage collected.)
We run a lot of REBOL cron jobs here... and it has proven itself well.

I'm now able to run a REBOL cron job on my home machine. The trick is to use
the '-w' flag. I thought I was running the latest version of Core on the
machines at work but I'll have to check that tomorrow.
I guess the script is aborting early without '-w' when launched by Cron.
Sometimes I recieved a few lines of the REBOL copyright message in my mail,
other times I would only get the console clear characters. The script was
writing to a file (write %/tmp/test "hello") but the file was never created.
