You keep looking in the wrong place - look at the files being created - the contents should give you a clue to what is creating them. That is what you are after.
Another way of looking at it is if your car had an oil leak, would you remove all the oil from car? Of course not! You have to find the leak and fix it, not remove the oil. The oil (those messages) should give you a clue of to where to look. Just like the cron job you found.

ppmfade
PPMFADE(1) General Commands Manual PPMFADE(1)
NAME
ppmfade - generate a transition between two image files using special effects.
SYNOPSIS
ppmfade [ -f first.ppm ] [ -l last.ppm ] [ -mix|-spread|-shift|-relief|-oil|-edge|-bentley|-block ] [ -base name ]
DESCRIPTION
This program generates a transition between either two input images or between one input image and black. You can use the 30 intermediate
images generated to show a smooth transition between segments of a movie. The input and output images are in the Portable Pixmap (PPM)
format. If you specify both input images, they should both be the same size. If you want to fade from black to an image, specify only the
last image. If you want to fade from an image to black, specify only the first image. ppmfade names the resulting image files base.nnnn
.ppm, where nnnn is a number varying between 0001 and 0030 and base is what you specify with via the -base option (default fade).
Another way to convert by steps from one image to another is morphing. You can use xmorph to do that.
OPTIONS
-f first.ppm
This is the image file (PPM format) to be used at the beginning of the transition. If not specified, the fade will start from
black.
-l last.ppm
This is the image file (PPM format) to be used at the ending of the transition. If not specified, the fade will end with black.
-mix The two images are superimposed with the brightness of the first image decreasing from full to none and the brightness of the final
image increasing from none to full. The transition is quadratic in brightness with faster transition in the beginning and slower at
the end.
-spread
The pixels in the first image will be moved (spread) further and further from their original location and then moved into the proper
location in the final image. This is the default transition.
-shift The pixels in the first image will be shifted further and further horizontally from their original location and then moved into the
proper location in the final image.
-relief
The first image is faded to a Laplacian relief filtered version of the first image. This is then faded to a Laplacian relief fil-
tered version of the second image and finally faded to the final image.
-oil The first image is faded to an "oil transfer" version of the first image. This is then faded to an "oil transfer" version of the
second image and finally faded to the final image.
-edge The first image is faded to an edge detected version of the first image. This is then faded to an edge detected version of the sec-
ond image and finally faded to the final image.
-bentley
The first image is faded to a "Bentley Effect" version of the first image. This is then faded to a "Bentley Effect" version of the
second image and finally faded to the final image.
-block The first image is defocused to small blocks. The small blocks are converted to match a defocused version of the last image. The
block version of the last image is then focused to the final image.
-basename
This forms part of the output filenames, as described above.
EXAMPLES
ppmfade -f teapot.ppm -l pyr.ppm
Fade from teapot.ppm to pyr.ppm generating fade.0001.ppm to fade.0030.ppm using the "spread" transition.
ppmfade -l teapot.ppm
Fade from black to teapot.ppm generating fade.0001.ppm to fade.0030.ppm.
ppmfade -f teapot.ppm -base end
Fade from teapot.ppm to black generating end.0001.ppm to end.0030.ppm.
