What do you expect us to do with a report like this? There's virtually no information.
Whichever user I login as, periodically I see some bootchart, cat, tar processes using the CPU constantly at 100% (and these processes run as root). IIUC bootchart is useful for someone working on making linux boot faster. I see no real benefit for an enduser desktop running these processes on every login. Also, bootchart getting automatically run periodically is something i consider a bug. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
