Description Mattias Dahlberg 2002-10-12 10:25:24 UTC

Description of request:

The Personal Desktop users (and some others too) will most certainly wonder 
what's making their hard drives go crazy after about an hour of using 8.0. 
For "no apparent reason".

Is it possible to add some kind of visual notification when a cron/anacron job 
is running? Perhaps a blinking icon in the task bar, similar to the rhn-applet. 
If being double-clicked it could give a little information on what's running 
and why, and maybe also a chance to disable it.

Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still
running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a
current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable.
Some information on which option may be right for you is available at
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/.

Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do
want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks.
Please check if this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core
release. If so, please change the product and version to match, and
check the box indicating that the requested information has been
provided. Note that any bug still open against Red Hat Linux on will be
closed as 'CANTFIX' on September 30, 2006. Thanks again for your help.
