<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Something, somewhere is starting one or
convkeps.pl commands. (I am presuming that the ps aux you put up
on your last email on this subject is contemporaneous with the top
you sent). <br>
<br>
First, reboot. then, as root, do:<br>
<br>
1. check that it is behaving normally.<br>
<br>
2. grep -ir convkep /var/log<br>
<br>
if nothing seen<br>
<br>
3. cd /spider; grep -ir convkep .<br>
<br>
If nothing is found.<br>
<br>
4. grep -ir convkep /var/spool/cron<br>
<br>
It has to be started somewhere and we have now covered all the
likely "normal" places.<br>
<br>
5. grep -ir convkep /<br>
<br>
We now start looking of abnormal places, which will take a
while...<br>
<br>
Please let me know. <br>
