Or /etc/cron.d Look for /etc/cron.d/sysstat, in particular. That's the one thing that I know of off the top of my head that's supposed to run every 10. (or you could just do `sar`. If you get something back, that's what's running.)

Oh, okay, makes me a bit happier, here is the crontab, hmm. Yeah definitely some process root is initiating.

ok, so the process running at 10.22 is your antivirus updating its virus definitions.

Unless I'm going blind, I'm missing the process that runs every 10th minute. Do you have something set up in /var/spool/cron/tabs/root perhaps?

Oh, silly me, this is /var/spool/cron/tabs/root. OK, so do you have something set up in /etc/crontab then?
