Dave,

Everything appears normal:

# snmpwalk -c ******** -O s -v 2c devunix4 prTable|grep '\.2 '
prIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
prNames.2 = STRING: cron
prMin.2 = INTEGER: 1
prMax.2 = INTEGER: 1
prCount.2 = INTEGER: 1
prErrorFlag.2 = INTEGER: 0
prErrMessage.2 = STRING:
prErrFix.2 = INTEGER: 0
prErrFixCmd.2 = STRING:

And on the server itself:

# ps -ef|grep cron
    root  7841     1  0   Feb 26 ?        0:02 /usr/sbin/cron

A trap was sent at 8:36:01 this morning. Cron was certainly active since
it's log file shows:

Although I'm monitoring many single instances of a process on this and
other servers, "cron" is the only one generating traps on occasion. And
not just on this server -- on a few others as well. I haven't found a
pattern to these traps yet -- they just happen once in a while (maybe a
total of 3-4 traps / day from 20 servers or so).

Thanks,
js.
