Its not running as root. Its a different user.

These scripts start just after midnight daily and poll for a file every 15 mins. There is a timer in the script which ends the scripts once 1340 mins have elapsed. So it dies automatically towards the end of the day.

If you look at the log file timestamps, yesterdays script finished at aroung 11:25 PM and new set of scripts got triggered early morning even though there were commented in the cron file -

PHP Code:

I am trying to figure out how this cron is triggering even though I have commented it.

Should I open a new thread?

Thanks
