How to detect which process is run by what?
Hello,
I am running under ubuntu 14.04
Very long time ago, I set a script (ban.sh) to block ip addresses abusing my system which was not active.
I have not touched the server over six months or more.
Today, after restart the system, ban.sh started running all of a sudden and keep submitting email to me every 2/3 minutes.
I put # in front of my ban.sh task in crontab -e
/etc/crontab has no rule.
After this change, it keeps sending me emails. Does it require hardware reboot or network restart to make activate the changes or how may I know which process/script is forcing ban.sh to start again?

PS: As a palliative solution, I have ran apt-get autoremove mail*
Thank you
Boris

bantool-ratbox

BANTOOL-RATBOX(8)					  System Administration Commands					 BANTOOL-RATBOX(8)

NAME

       bantool-ratbox - Tool used to manage the ban database of the ratbox ircd server.

SYNOPSIS

       bantool-ratbox -h

       bantool-ratbox -i [-f DBFILE] [-s] [-p] [-d] [-w] [-v] [OLDCONFDIR]

       bantool-ratbox -e [-f DBFILE] [-s] [-v] [OLDCONFDIR]

       bantool-ratbox -u [-f DBFILE] [-s] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       bantool-ratbox is a tool used to import, export, and update the ban database. The import/export operation is useful when migrating from an
       old ircd ratbox server. It can also be used to redistribute ban lists and create backups. The upgrade operation should be done whenever the
       ircd server is upgraded.

OPTIONS

       -h
	   Show summary of options.

       -i
	   Import the (old) configuration files into the database.

       -e
	   Export the database content into configuration files.

       -u
	   Upgrade the database.

       -f DBFILE
	   Set the database file (defaults to /etc/ircd-ratbox/ban.db).

       -s
	   Reclaim empty slack space the database may be taking up.

       -p
	   Dry run, checking configuration, but without touching the database.

       -d
	   Allow redondant entries (unlike what the help screen pretends).

       -w
	   Completely wipe the database before importing.

       -v
	   Verbose mode (only useful for debugging).

       OLDCONFDIR
	   Set the (old) configuration directory (defaults to /etc/ircd-ratbox).
