I have noticed a laptop using metalog as its logging system (so I don't have |
| 2 |
to run logrotate on its logs to clear out old files) at least once a day |
| 3 |
activates its wireless card and its bluetooth card and what looks like an OEM |
| 4 |
back up button on its keyboard. Then the bluetooth starts flashing as if it |
| 5 |
is searching for something to connect to, followed by the wireless. Looking |
| 6 |
at top, ps, lsof and netstat I have not managed to find out what is running to |
| 7 |
cause this behaviour. All I've come up with is anacron: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
4735 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/anacron -s |
| 10 |
5867 ? SN 0:00 \_ run-parts /etc/cron.daily |
| 11 |
5919 ? SN 0:00 \_ /bin/sh /etc/cron.daily/mlocate |
| 12 |
5926 ? DN 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/updatedb -f |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I've hardly used metalog over the years, but I don't think metalog is using |
| 15 |
anacron to rotate its log files - I haven't found anything in /etc/cron.* to |
| 16 |
indicate this is so. |

Any idea what might be causing this? |
