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