What is Snarf?

[haze]

Im in top and I see a process &snarf.20154& running by root and was wondering what it was? its just been sitting there doing nothing, can I stop it? should I just leave it? It looks like it has something to do with the nightly update.. but I am not sure.

I don't see that process running in mine

under &Current running processes& I see this:

(snarf.20154) /tmp/snarf.20154 /tmp
/tmp/snarf.20154 -n http://layer2.cpanel.net/Cpanel-4.4.0-STABLE_189-Linux-i686-glibc-2.1.3-9.2mdk /tmp/cp3installer.20154

 

[gorgo]

yes then its probably the nightly updater...

I just updated mine, and in the install process I saw something called snarf so I think it might be best to leave it for now until Nick comes on

I had to reboot the server anyways and that fixed things up. I think it might have something to do with the DoS that happened yesterday at VDI. Anywho, all is well now.
