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.

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?

Hi everybody,

I've SUSE10 installed in my personal computer. I'm always being bothered by a "find" process. It makes the computer very very slow when I'm working(reading something). I have to kill the find process by hand everyday! It looks like a system schedule. But I can't find it out :( Can anybody here please help me disable this "find"? Thanks in advance!

Actually what you want to look for are either "beagle" or "locate" that index files on the PC. Actually, I think that JunJun's finds are one of the SuSE cron jobs in /etc/cron.daily, and it is getting hung up, but there is also a beagle cron in there.
