rouge process wiping files from a directory
I'm hoping you guys (the experts) can help me.
We have a sweep directory (/opt/application/sweep) critical to our application process. The application will lay down a file in that directory, then about 15 seconds later a post process will come along and pick that file up and continue processing. The problem is that something (a rouge process) or someone is doing an rm -f * in that directory. We are trying to figure out what process or person may be doing this. We have examined all of our users .sh_history files and don't see a smoking gun. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to identify the culprit? Thanks in advance!

What operating system is this? Linux kernels 2.4.x and newer have an API that provides notification on file modification, etc.
[edit] inotify doesn't provide the process id, so won't help. Maybye see if things keep vanishing after you turn off cron? Last edited by Corona688; 12-21-2006 at 08:46 AM.
