Okay, I tried /etc/daily, but had to "chmod u+x" it first 
since "ls -l /etc | grep daily" reported it non-x...

A lot of stuff scrolled by too fast to read. So instead I 
just did...

find / -name "*.core" | more 

...and found these...

/home/aplonis/kworldwatch.core
/root/kworldwatch.core
/root/knotes.core
/var/spool/mqueue/sendmail.core
/kioslave.core
/XF86_SVGA.core
/login.core

...I had some probs with KDE a while back, fixed now, I 
think. So I checked the dates with, like...

ls -l /root | grep core

...and so on. Most were old, but not this one...

/var/spool/mqueue/ssendmail.core

...which is strange since I don't call or use sendmail
to my knowledge (which is scantily newbie-ish).

What can I do with this info???

Thanks,
