Default Cron Jobs gone wild?

Ensure correct Cron Job Termination signal or your CronJobs may not finish execting!

In our TOS we say that the most frequent Cron Job task should be no less than 15 minutes each. Also make sure the process you're trying to run will give proper termination signal, otherwise you may end up running infinite number of cron jobs adding new one to the queue every 15 miuntes. I (the server admin) just found one guy who had about 60+ unfinished cron jobs loaded in memory each of them set in 15 minute interval. Seems like this particular cron job did not give termination signal and was never finished.

If we find something like that we will REMOVE this cron job to prevent further damages to our system and notify you that there is a problem with your scripts.

The Maiahost Server Administrator.
