There are a lot of records in my syslog file like this one:
Oct 5 10:45:01 server /USR/SBIN/CRON[29603]: (root) CMD (/etc/webmin/status/mon itor.pl)
There is a cronjob every 5 minutes for that script.
1) What is monitor.pl doing and why it has to be run every 5 minutes?
2) I am not using webmin service. I start it when is requested. Deleting the cron job is a good idea? Or increasing the time to 1h, 1d?

Howdy -- what you're seeing there is normal.
It's part of the feature in System Settings -> Features and Plugins -> Status Monitoring.
Additional parts of that can be configured in Webmin -> Others -> System and Server Status.
Since that's not a bug though, you'd want to use the Forums for asking additional questions about that. Thanks!

Thank you Eric.
