Hi everyone,
I was wondering how long cron jobs tend to run. The reason I ask is that I've found my g4 powerbook to be working really hard (70-90% CPU) on a process called "fsck_hfs" for about the past 15 hours via the activity viewer.
I'm guessing this is something the computer started automatically, but am wondering how long I should expect it to continue?
Is there a way I can get more info on cron jobs, or the fsck command that is running in particular? Is is better to wait it out, or does it matter if I reboot my computer/end this process before it comes to its own completion?
Thanks for the help,
Owen
