Do not know what I did but suddenly I had tracerroute running three times. Have killed it in htop and have the idea that I got rid of it. Could somebody give me some background. Google gave my only some basic ideas.

If your question is why you have three instances of traceroute current, _you_ must have started them. You do not say what the circumstances were or how/why/when you initiated traceroute. Why is/was it a problem to have three instances running? It would have been simpler to stop the running instances of traceroute by 'killall traceroute'. To see that you have in fact killed it, 'ps x|grep traceroute' What background is it that you want? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

Cannot remember how and where I started tracerroute

No real problem there. Just an overkill ;-)

Where could I have started tracerroute?

It is a command-line application in /usr/sbin. You would have to initiate it as root or type the entire path on a command-line as /usr/sbin is *normally* not in <user>'s path.

You most probably didn't, you'd surely have remembered. This smacks of a problem I had recently, for some reason skype was starting them. To fix this, I've had to build and install traceroute-1.4a12, the SuSE version is way downlevel. I really noticed it because my boxes, a XP3200+ x86 and a XP3000+ x86_64 laptop were ever so slow, top showed multiple traceroute instances running and consuming nearly all CPU, as high as 99.7%. Kill them and they restart, kill skype and then kill them and they didn't restart. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

I did some work with Skype and after it reported sound problems I restarted it. Will have a close look at Skype as

Exactly what I see right now on my box. Running four instances of traceroute. one changed into traceroute only, the others still are as /usr/sbin/traceroute -n -q 1 -f 2 -m 5 -w 2 with an address. Tried to lookup the addresses with whois but was timed out. Somebody with more luck or a better connection? traceroute 130.244.111.27 Still not opened 204.152.201.65, 202.232.149.143 an 202.139.155.235. Each four of them takes away an average of 16% of my CPU. The results of the four request seem to be send to >/dev/null with sh -c Could somebody show me how I could get the results of the request for traceroute send to a file?

Not everyone has seen this problem and I couldn't find out what in skype was triggering the behaviour which occurred in 9.3 and after the 10.0 upgrade. Anyhow with traceroute-1.4a12 installed, end of problem. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
