So last time it run was last Saturday. The file is created just before the script runs. And after it runs, I see the script deletes the file if it is dated in the future.
But ps -ef gives me... root 30653 1 0 01:00 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh -c test -x /usr/lib/secchk/security-control.sh && /usr/lib/secchk/security-control.sh weekly &
So it is running now. Weird!
Which shows that it is running today. It started around 1:00 AM from the above, but the system became sluggish around 6:00 AM.
I like using "ps afx | less -S", because it would identify the children. There is an entry in the messages log file that should tell you the exact time it started; try: grep weekly /var/log/messages | less -S My guess is that yours takes a long time to execute. You will not have "john" installed? It does a weekly test for weak passwords, and it may takes days to complete. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
