No other user have access on cron except root. I don't see anything is related to that

Code:
# crontab -l | grep -v "#"
0 19 * * * /usr/local/bin/CLEANER_v1.1.ksh > /var/log/CLEANER.log 2>&1
10 3 * * * /usr/sbin/logadm
15 3 * * 0 /usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind
30 3 * * * [ -x /usr/lib/gss/gsscred_clean ] && /usr/lib/gss/gsscred_clean
25 17 * * * /var/tmp/sys_stat.ksh > /var/tmp/sys_stat.ksh.out 2>&1

Maybe it is in the SMF control? Try:
Code:
svcs -a | grep -i glance

If you don't see any output, then check all the services reported by svcs -a and look for anything that might be your application.

I couldn't find anything there as well
Code:
# svcs -a | egrep -i "scope|mwa|ttd|midaemon|glan"
disabled       21:22:21 svc:/network/rpc/cde-ttdbserver:tcp

Try this:
1. kill midaemon (or stop it with stop script)
2. run this code
Code:
dtrace -wn 'syscall:::entry/execname=="midaemon"/{system ("ptree %d", ppid);exit(0)}'

3. wait for midaemon to get respawned. DTrace should then show who started this process.

It gave me below output
Code:
# dtrace -wn 'syscall:::entry/execname=="midaemon"/{system ("ptree %d", ppid);exit(0)}'
dtrace: description 'syscall:::entry' matched 237 probes
dtrace: allowing destructive actions
