unknown rpm process

[cdeardor]

I am running suse sles 8 (virutal servers), and there is an rpm process that kicks off about once a week at 1am, and runs for an hour. This process uses a large chunk of the cpu, but I can't find where it starts from. I don't see it in cron. Here is the line from top

7229 root 20 1 1872 1872 476 R N 8.8 0.5 0:00 rpm

Would anyone have any idea what this is and where it starts from?

Look in /etc/cron.weekly and see what's running rpm in there. On my fedora systems a cron job makes a file listing all installed packages.

I checked all of the crons, and the only thing listed was cron.daily doing a backup of the rpm db. I checked into that, and that wasn't it, because that's only supposed to run when the rpm db changes.
