While I was up shutting it down, I noticed the HD activity lamp on my linux firewall was indicating activity. I selected the console window where I leave 'top' running. I found that 'find' and 'sort' were being run by 'nobody'. I've installed no 'at' or 'cron' jobs. It is a Slackware v8.0, kernel 2.2.19, custom compile system. 'who' showed my console logins only. Why was 'find' and 'sort' running at 4:40 AM ?
