Check your /etc/crontab. You will find what is being run by cron and when.

Hi ! This is a question, coming from curiosity. I installed SuSE 7.0 about two months ago; everything went reasonably well.
From time to time I had noticed the system would start to run the harddisk for several minutes, with a lot of a party going on, which sounded just like... oh no like a defrag ;) So today I took a look at the processes going on, and this is my ps -A output ( partial ) :
534 tty5 00:00:00 mingetty 535 tty6 00:00:00 mingetty 536 ? 00:00:00 kdm 1881 ? 00:00:00 in.identd
9486 ? 00:00:00 cron 9488 ? 00:00:00 sh 9489 ? 00:00:00 run-crons 9698 ? 00:00:00 aaa_base_update 9713 ? 00:00:00 updatedb 9733 ? 00:00:00 updatedb 9734 ? 00:00:02 sort 9735 ? 00:00:00 frcode 9736 ? 00:00:00 su 9737 ? 00:00:10 find 9834 ? 00:00:54 X 9835 ? 00:00:00 kdm 9857 ? 00:00:04 kwm 9998 ? 00:00:00 kaudioserver 9999 ? 00:00:00 maudio 10006 ? 00:00:02 kfm 10007 ? 00:00:00 krootwm 10010 ? 00:00:00 kwmsound 10014 ? 00:00:00 konsole
Hmmm so what ? Who do you think woke up then and what was he doing ? ( pid 9486 ) Any clues? Looks like a system manteinance or the sort to me. Had never heard about it.
