Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am getting a bit confused from the messages that I receive in my gmail |
| 4 |
account sent from my crontab. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
First, is related to the title which is: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Cron <root@mylaptop> test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I am not sure what this "test -x" part represents? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The second question is related to the output of chkrootkit, which is run by |
| 14 |
the cron.weekly and emails stuff that don't make much sense to me: |

Now I happened to notice that the above legible references to vlc are from the |
| 36 |
"services discovery" list that the vlc player shows under Media/Services. Not |
| 37 |
sure what they are doing in chckrootkit ... is it telling me that it just |
| 38 |
scanned all such content? When I run it manually it looks just the same and |
| 39 |
follows a long output following "Searching for suspect PHP files..." I am not |
| 40 |
sure I understand why chkrootkit is emailing these to me and if I need to do |
| 41 |
something about it. |
