var/log/httpd/sea_urchin file?

[nivaplei]

Hi ,
Does anyone know about the sea_urchin log? what does it do? how can I shut it off. there seems to have an automatic process somewhere because every time I deleted the var/log/httpd/sea_urchin log file, it will regenerate the log file again on sunday.
Thank you so much for your help!

There's a javascript called "urchin", a tracking module, that keeps a log file here:

/var/log/httpd/urchin

. That's the closest thing that comes to mind.

Thank you,
I did find an application name urchin, and I remove and uninstall the urchin service from the server, however, the sea_urchin log still reappear every monday.
This is the step I have followed to remove the urchin service:
webhostingresourcekit.com/219.html
maybe I miss something during the process?
There is one thing though, As following the guide, I didnt find any entry of urchin in the rc.local, there is also no urchin file in the rc.d/init.d directory.
Does that mean the urchin still running? but I use service urchin status and it come up with urchin: unrecognized service.

Executing this command

ps -A |grep urchin

ought to tell you if urchin is running or not.

I did that, and there is no process running as urchin

the sea_urchin log still reappear every monday.

Then I would look in /etc/crontab or /etc/cron.weekly since it being executed at regular intervals.
