I have rebooted the machine, and so far the things are gone (and I put a ".trackerignore" file in there). I'll keep your idea in mind.
Problem would be, each process lives for less than a second, then another is started searching for a different file.
ps afx might see the parent, but the processes I saw were in parallel, not hanging one from another.
Do you like tracker? I tried to make friends with desktop search starting from the dreaded-dog beagle on, but I haven't ever found them useful. There are times when I wish there were something that was light (on resources and index size) and would find exactly what I can't recall where in my normally strong directory struct that tidbit landed. I've found normal utilities much more friendly, find, grep, plocate, etc.. They have done the job for me. It's never an important document that gets lost, it's usually a note I've put in a Readme-something.txt that's a bit too long for basket (generally shorter than a page of text gets organized there). I've tried opensearch and at least a half-dozen others. But not Gnome anything any longer. So if you have a "killer search app" that fits the bill, I'm open to trying another out. But I always found tracker much like beagle and it meets the same fate on all my boxes (as a plus, I never have to worry about it spamming the journal :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
