If you can not find the script, then do this. Open a xterm when you are active, write a background script that will wake up , kill any process running locate and/or find, and go back to sleep for a period of time (10 minutes).

When you dont need the console, you then kill your script and let your SuSE complete that task.

Thanks to Ken and Jerry, I think it may not a cron job, because this
"find" problem comes out when CPU is idel, but actually I'm
working(reading) on the computer at that time. This "find" process needs
about 10 mins to finish, so when I go back to the console, or other
programs, I feel the computer is too too much slow. In that case, I have
to kill all the "find" process.

I don't understand Ken's suggestion. I know the "locate" and "begeal", but
what I need to find? Actually I don't which process/program invoks "find".

As for Jerry's suggestion, I checked /etc/cron.daily, none of those files
contain "-regex" which is in the "find" command line. I think this problem
is not related to the cron.daily.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Liu
