A long time ago I copied/modified a script that used inotify to tell me the results of an automatic clamscan when something was downloaded to Downloads.



I'd like to get rid of it but cannot figure out what is calling the script. I want to keep the script (in my home directory with others) but just not have it called anymore. Though I cannot recall how I did it, the tutorial I used suggested crontab.



But I have checked both my user's and root's crontab and do not see it in there. I also checked all the cron.daily/weekly/etc, as well as /etc/cron.d/ and cannot find it. I've looked in the journal using 'journalctl -b | grep cron' or for when I know the time I downloaded something, 'journalctl -b | grep -e "10:00"'. I've also just used grep to search for the string of the name of the executable - script.sh - but did not find it anywhere, not even in /etc/.



I do not have at/atd daemon and I cannot think of what else to do to look for whatever is calling it. It is also not in Linux Mint's "startup selection" using the GUI for the desktop.



Anyway, I don't simply want to delete the *.sh file, but my screen and terminals filling up with zenity windows and messages is annoying.



Any ideas of where to look?
