red Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Hi all, Finally after some serious fussing with things, I could not be happier with my MNF 8.2 (at least i think it is 8.2) setup. A am just curious about an appearant "scheduled task". It seems that at 4am every day, the system experiences a sudden increase in "memory used for cache". I haven't the slightet clue just what is causing this, as there is little if any internet or network use at all at 4am, and there is no cooresponding increase in traffic across either NIC. Is there some program that is running that may be performing some sort of maintenance at that time? How can I check exactly what services etc. are starting at boot? Which ones can I prevent from starting to help streamline the system a bit? Thanks, RED[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Hi It may be a Crontab job that is scheduled to run at that time everyday like syslogd (a job to rotate the log files) or something else. Check in /etc/cron.daily/. If you don't want any job to be ran .. stop the crontab deamon to start at boot by typing as root (not 100% of the syntax here) chkconfig crond off Hope this help MOtTs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
