If you suspect that you have an errant rc script/process have you seen it
before? The one thing that you might want to see is what has been touched
since the change on the system. Use ls -lt to see what is going on there.

If you find something then try and run the script via CLI. (i.e.
./<name_of_script> stop and see what is written to STDERR (if anything).
Dig into the new scripts and run the commands within the script via command
line and see what you get (if anything).

Good luck,

Bill
