Actually, it could be running out of Xymon - but it is not a standard 
feature of the Xymon packages that I know of.

If it really is the xymon user running the rpm command, then check for 
an add-on script that triggers this. My guess would be something running 
"rpm -Va" as a "poor-man's integrity check".

tasks.cfg or clientlaunch.cfg is probably a good place to start.
