I run Fedora 10. My copy of SA is the standard Fedora package for that distro. As part of its normal SA install it adds a cron job called sa_update to /etc/cron.daily, where it runs silently every night. My last update was the rush job to fix the 2010 problem on the 2nd of Jan..... My guess is that your SA installation has done something very similar. FWIW I replaced the standard setup with a modified script (posted here a few days back) that e-mails me with what it did each run. I run this on a weekly basis and, in consequence, know when the cron job has run and what it did. Martin
