I am facing the following problem, when I tail my /var/log/messages in my Raq4, I see repeated log of the following every fifteen minutes. The Raq4 has been patched with all the newest pacthes from Sun, and had no idea what is happening? Can anyone please advise me?
Anything that appears in the logs every 15 minutes is most likely related to Active Monitor. For your FTP question, that is exactly what's happening: AM attempts to connect to the service every 15 minutes to make sure it's still up. If it's not, it attempts to restart it (if it's enabled in the control panel). If it can't restart the service, an alert email is sent to the address(es) specified in the Administrator settings for "Alert Emails"...
