The cron process would run as the anonymous user from the crontab entry, I assume you have one setup in your cPanel.

Generated by the cron run, which is OK.

Generated by some module, I don't know if it is good or not.

Someone accessed node/7 and it doesn't exist.

See above.

Someone accessed node/11 and it doesn't exist.

See above.


I don't see anything in the operation here that would cause the &quot; or \" entries.  Note that \ is prepended to " before saving it in the DB via http://us3.php.net/mysql_real_escape_string and is supposed to be in the DB data if that is where you are checking it.
