[08-17-04 21:33]: 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?
did you look in /etc:
/etc/cron.d/ /etc/cron.daily/ /etc/cron.hourly/ /etc/cron.monthly/ /etc/crontab /etc/cron.weekly/
Yes, I have looked there but was confused as to the user these were executed under. It also does not quite answer my original question. As Anders mentioned the daily cron is set to run at 04:14 and hourly crons run at 59 minutes of each hour. Now for the kicker, the process that was running for which I sent the original post ran approximately 30 minutes before I sent the message. That would make it at about 20:30 according to my system time. This time does not match any of the /etc/crontab.xxxxx definitions. So I am still a bit confused on this `find` that is run by "nobody". Also, can you tell me exactly what this line in /etc/crontab means: -*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons >/dev/null 2>&1 DC
