** Reply Requested by 5/14/2010 (Friday) ** I'm not sure, but I think you can control the CPU usage tunning falicities and priorities in the syslod.conf if this is implemented in syslog, otherwise I recommend you to use syslog-ng Also, I quite sure that this service uses a crypt hash to generate logs and if so this can be very painfull for the CPU's What version of syslogd are you running ? I've foung this link that can clarify for us what was the problem and how as fixed. But I can't read it

Does anyone know what this Program is? Can i kill it?

Only if you want to stop logging on your system :) rsyslogd is a replacement for syslog/syslog-ng i.e. the program that receives log messages from the kernel and other sources (local and remote) and writes them to various files according to its configuration. Aaaha. Thanks for clarifying.

But can i tell rsyslogd that i don*t must use 90% CPU? Sure i have Dualcore. But in my POV it is not needed, that one CPU just works for rsyslogd ;-) -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns open-slx GmbH openSUSE Community & Support Agent openSUSE Marketing Team Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com Web: http://www.open-slx.de (openSUSE Box Support German) Web: http://www.open-slx.com (openSUSE Box Support English) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
