Environment

Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management - ZDM7 Desktop Management

Situation

ZENworks zeninvchown script runs every minute

Resolution

This behavior is working as designed. The zeninvchown script is installed by ZENworks 7 Desktop Management on Linux install program and and not by ZENworks 7 Linux Management.

The purpose of zeninvchown is to change ownership for dictionary files in directory /opt/novell/zenworks/inv/server/DictDir. It is invoked by the cron every minute to ensure that dictionary files are owned by user "inventory" and not by user "root".
