Actually, I am pretty sure that logrotate runs at midnight on Sunday for the weekly logrotation. There can be actual commands associated with rotating log files, for instance, Apache must be restarted after the logs are rotated. Other apps, depending on their pre and post command structure might run other commands. The activity you see could be merely normal commands associated with rotating logs of the apps that you have on your machine. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
