Thanks Anders. That was my guess but I ran crontab -l as both my user and root and nothing was listed in the crontab. As root I also su nobody and ran a crontab -l and saw nothing. Do these cron jobs not show up in a crontab for any user?
No, they are run from the system crontab /etc/crontab. Every 15 minutes a job is run called run-crons. Every hour, this job runs the scripts in /etc/cron.hourly, every day at 4.15am it runs the scripts in /etc/cron.daily, every sunday at 4.30am it runs the scripts in /etc/cron.weekly and at 4.45am on the first of each month it runs the scripts in /etc/cron.monthly The times are from 9.1, they were different in 9.0 and previous versions, but the song remains the same
