Hi,

   Here is what happened:

    I have Zope 2.4.1, Python 2.1, Xron-0-0-10 installed. I have three Xron
Methods that run every 15 minutes and one that runs every day at 2 am (call
it reportsender). At 2 am reportsender started and finished ok. Just after
reportsender finished it's work, another Xronmethod was called - it finished
with ok status. Than:

2002-02-09T02:00:03 ERROR(200) Catalog uncatalogObject unsuccessfully
attempted to uncatalog an object with a uid of /TO/Reports/reportsender

And reportsender started being called a few times every second. ....Until
Data.fs has reached 2 Gb limit.... (it was at 02:51 am). From that time to
about 11:36 am Zope was reporting errors reading Data.fs. At 11:36 it
stopped reporting errors and started to work fine - nothing else suspicious
happend. The only problem was that old data.fs disappeared and new one,
empty appeared.

I have here two problems:
    1. How Xron could call reportsender million or more times?
    2. How could my Data.fs had disappeared?

The day before (08.02.2002) reportsender was moved (cut+paste) from one
place to another. First it wasn't under any SiteRoot, after copying it came
under SiteRoot and a UserFolder (i think it is the source of problem).

Thank you for any suggestions why that happened
