Hi, folks. We're running SL 4.3 on a dual-Opteron server. We've just noticed that there are processes that show as "events" in the output of the top command that are consuming large amounts of the CPU on this system: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 7 root 5 -10 0 0 0 R 99.9 0.0 1786:41 events/1 I can't tell where this process is coming from or what to do about it. Can you help? Thanks. - Mike -- Michael Hannon mailto:[log in to unmask] Dept. of Physics 530.752.4966 University of California 530.752.4717 FAX Davis, CA 95616-8677
