cupsd and httpd restarting every Sunday at 4:02

I see cupsd and httpd restarting every Sunday at 04:02 on all of my RHEL4 servers. I've looked at all the /etc/cron.* directories including the /etc/crontab and can't see what's causing the restarts. I've also looked in /var/spool/cron/ and see no files. Anyone have an idea of where else to look?

Code:

[root]# cat crontab

SHELL=/bin/bash

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

MAILTO=root

HOME=/



# run-parts

01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly

02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily

22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly

42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly







[root]# ls /etc/cron.*

/etc/cron.deny



/etc/cron.d:



/etc/cron.daily:

00-logwatch        0anacron  prelink  slocate.cron

00-makewhatis.cron  logrotate  rpm      tmpwatch



/etc/cron.hourly:



/etc/cron.monthly:

0anacron



/etc/cron.weekly:

00-makewhatis.cron  0anacron

Start with the log files, /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog.

You said you looked through all the cron directories, so you should have caught anyone's crontab in /var/spool/cron/crontabs.

You may have to write a small shell script daemon to go look for httpd restarting. Those are the only things that come to mind.
