Logs - every 5 minutes

[MisterVlad]

OK... i just installed ISPconfig 3.0.1.6 this morning, and i must say, i like the layout/look/feel better than v2... but i was looking at the log stuff on the monitor page, and i see enteries every 5 mintues on mail and ftp??

Is this normal?

on another note, this is a fresh IP, never assigned in my /29 subnet that I am using, and i got this in the mail_warn log
Oct 24 13:40:48 pluto postfix/smtpd[9293]: warning: 60.49.214.110: address not listed for hostname 49.60.in-addr.arpa.tm.net.my

connections from localhost every 5 minutes are from ispconfig to check if services are running.

OK... I guess that makes sense... but if the mail and ftp are running local, can't it just do like a 'ps aux | grep <application>' to see if it still running? rather than fill up the log files with log ins and stuff?

just putting thoughts/ideas out there, and maybe it's been talked about before, and it is done this way for a reason...

but thanks for the great app :) so far, i am really enjoying it... much better than webmin ;) (since webmin isn't really a control panel for a web server)

The application may hang and still be visible with ps aux and also do the application binaries have different names on different linux distributions.

ok, that makes sense :)
