i found that my cron is locking up from time to time...
after some search i found that sometimes freshclam locks up
when updating
and the fcron doesnt continue until the process is killed
As a workaround i edited the /etc/cron.hourly/freshclam and
do a killall /usr/bin/freshclam && sleep 10 before
running the
real freshclam - "/usr/bin/freshclam &"
i sent the process to background so it doesnt lock the fcron
and i add
the full path so the killall will kill the real freshclam
and not this
very same script, as it have the same name
The endian people could add/fix this in their scripts as
probably
this appends to more people.

but i'm betting that your problem is a clock problem... the
exact time between holes point to it...
virtual machines may have slower clocks than the real one
because the way they use to account the time isnt stable in
a virtual
machine... in a 2.6 kernel there is a workaround of using
clock=PIT
or something like this (search the net)
As the clock is slower, every time you run ntpdate in the
cron
it will jump in time to correct the clock, creating holes in
the graphs.
Other way to fix this is to run ntpd, this way the daemon
will
fix the clock in realtime and the jumps will stop while
remaining with
the correct clock.
check it out
good luck

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all
it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is
always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a
democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist
dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the
bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them
they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of
patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every
country.
