Bus Error in cron job

Question

Hi All,

I have set up a cron job for sending emails from my site using php. It was working fine. Today I got one error message like this "/bin/sh: line 1: 29681 Bus error". Could you please tell me what is this bus error and its solutions?

Thanks In Advance

Seem a couple of threads about all sorts of causes.

Here is one I would try:

Some kind of hardware trouble is going on.

Try

`dmesg`

If that can't read it's own binary, you gotta reboot and hope that /var/log/messages has something useful from before the reboot.
