It has an interesting correlation with logrotate as most (but not all)
of the files were created when apache logs were rotated and the
logrotate script indeed reloads the apache config:
root at devs:~# cat /etc/logrotate.d/apache2
/var/log/apache2/*.log {
weekly
missingok
rotate 52
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
create 640 root adm
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null
endscript
}
However, I can't really see why this should spit out random files in / .
All other cron jobs seem unrelated.
