where is the 4:?? crontab?

[jlang]

Plesk Panel 10.01, CentOS 5/64.

I'm doing my own log processing for my vhosts, swapping the files at 0:00, and so I've disabled that for my virtual domains in Plesk.

Nonetheless, shortly after 4:00 am, it seems that a Plesk cron job is started which somehow issues a reload command to the web server. The result is that the logged accesses between 0:00 and 4:?? for all vhosts are lost.

I've searched everywhere (I think), but I just can't find a crontab that is doing this, not in /etc, not in /usr/.../psa, not anywhere.

Maybe (just maybe) it's the /usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/clean-reports job at 3:07, being off by 1 hour, but does this job really reload the http server? Unfortunately, the source code is obfuscated.

So, how and where can I get rid of/edit that 4:?? cron job that messes up my log files?

[edit: forget about the /clean-reports part. I was too eager to find an easy solution and misread the crontab.]

Thanks!

So I thought I might have a workaround: Set the log rotation from "daily" to "size" and select a size that is never reached within a single day. After that, Plesk should leave the log files alone and let me process them the way my clients need it, right? Wrong.

At 4:02 the log files were rotated. All log files. Even those for the two domains which currently have no content at all and hence no traffic.

And yes, I don't allow log administration for the individual domains, and all domains are a following the synchronized default plan which I changed as described above.

Which brings me back to my question: Where is that annoying cron job that messes with my log files every night at 4:02?
