Did you look in the system cron directories /etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.hourly and those directories referred to in the system crontab
file some sysadmins will add scripts to cron by just putting them in
the  system cron file in one of the directories that are pointed to by a
run-parts command and forget about them.
