Removed Slocate back in October and I never installed Spam-Assasin.
The time that prompted this question was at Midnight on Sunday night which
seems to point to Cron and a weekly thing. When I look at that there is
nothing scheduled with Cron at the user or root level.
The weekly stuff in the logrotate, etc. Cron stuff is Ok. I would just like to
schedule it at a time when I am not doing something on the computer, say at
like 5 or 6 in the morning.
