[ale] hanging process

[Zyman, Andy]

Gentleman:

I have one pretty strange problem. 
 the process is not ending if it has been executed using cron. At the same
time next timecron runs it - the previous ( should i say "image" ? ) process
is finishes ( getting killed ? ) and i receive email.
there are no loops in script. I can post the code here if somebody wants to
take a look.

Here is the picture: ( please read on )

------------------------- end of email ---------------------------------

so there is no "start" part of cronjob. at the same tile log is updated with
correect time and everything ( i mean Oracle ) is working.

Please advise.


Thank You
 Andy
