Not even a '.cshrc' or '.profile' to be found. I'd been doing a little development work in there (a couple of minor shell scripts) if that makes any difference. The machine's not been rebooted since Wednesday last week and the work I'd done was definately there on Friday. The machine's not networked (not even got a Network Card), there's no serail or parallel port connection, and the office is locked over the weekend (and it's clear that the console is in exactly the state I left it). Upon investigation ('crontab -l') there appears to be a cron job thus:- 0 9 * * * find . -mtime +1 | xargs rm which I guess is the cause. Any ideas what it's doing here?
