I am currently trying to track down a script that is run on one of our
redhat machines which was put in place by someone no longer in the company.
The script basically runs a remove on a temp area but we now want to stop
it doing this but unfortunately I cannot see it in any crons on the
machine. I have looked at all the logical account for the crons to be
running under but have had no luck. Does anyone know a good way of finding
out who and where on the machine it is running from.

Did you look in the system cron directories /etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.hourly and those directories referred to in the system crontab file some sysadmins will add scripts to cron by just putting them in the system cron file in one of the directories that are pointed to by a run-parts command and forget about them.
