Sounds like we'd need a dev to answer that question; personally I've only observed those files changing upon service starts, on two different Windows systems. I'm not losing sleep over it, though, so this is where my attention span ends :)

I'm only wondering why the file date differs from reboot times of my laptop. Regards Arno Seidel Von: Jim Harle [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Montag, 10.

Have you tried opening the files to view the entries in them? Are you concerned that the Shrew client is trying to do something nefarious?

But this would not explain how I can find the debug-files with a date which lies before some reboots of the computer.

My guess is you rebooted your computer which caused the logs to get updated with the service start.

Those files definitely get touched when the two services Matthew pointed out start; not sure what they are doing when "idle."

I'd almost guarantee that those are generating the debug output in your folder.

I´ve installed the shrew soft vpn-client on my laptop (OS Windows 7 64 bit) some months ago. Today I searched for files which where changed on a specific date. And I found three files in the C:\Programms\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\debug folder which Where changed on 2014/01/27 10:53 ... and I know that on this day in this hour I was sitting In my office and using Word and Excel and not doing anything with the vpn-client on my laptop. Then the files changed their dates to: 2014/02/07 13:53 Without using the VPN-client. I´ve no idea why the files changed their change-date. Do you have a explanation for that? There was no reboot / power off / suspend Regards Arno Seidel IT-Manager Online Research Manager INFO GmbH Markt- und Meinungsforschung Ein Unternehmen der INFO Research Group Schönholzer Straße 1A, D-13187 Berlin Tel. +49-30-490 01 - 305 Fax +49-30-490 01 - 499 Mobil:+49-173-605 90 69 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.infogmbh.de<http://www.infogmbh.de/> Sitz: Berlin, AG Charlottenburg HRB 36905 USt.-IdNr.
