I've noticed by watching GKrellM that every five minutes there's a brief burst of about 170 forks within a period of a second or so on my openSUSE 11.1 system.
I wonder:
1) Does anyone know what this might be?
??
2) How might I learn what process is performing these forks?
you will have to catch it at the right time, and do: ps -e axfj |less will capture a tree view of all processes that you can search. but... you will have to initiate the command at the time the ?forks are running. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
