I tried to find the process in /var/log/messages with
cat messages |grep 24436
Came up empty.

Is there any way anyone can think of to find out just who or what that
was all about? Thanks.

I catted all files in the log directory and found something, have a look:

[root@ohmster log]# cat * |grep 24436
cat: bittorrent: Is a directory

/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --lock-file /var/lock/mrtg/mrtg_l --
confcache-file /var/lib/mrtg/mrtg.ok)
cat: cups: Is a directory
cat: gdm: Is a directory
cat: httpd: Is a directory
cat: mail: Is a directory
cat: mailman: Is a directory
cat: ppp: Is a directory
cat: prelink: Is a directory
cat: samba: Is a directory
cat: squid: Is a directory
cat: vbox: Is a directory

[root@ohmster log]# pwd
/var/log
[root@ohmster log]#

Do you all think that cron was processing some kind of mrtg information for
a report or something?
