Hello. I have an X terminal server ... as perhaps everybody already knows because I keep asking stupid questions... Sometimes beagled and its related process (e.g. parse-metadata) suddenly come up and take everybody by surprise by taking 100% CPU resource and slowing everything down. This keeps 10 minutes and everybody decide to get a coffee. Usually every user's beagled process start together. I know how to shutdown beagled gracefully as it's easy to get this knowledge on google. What I didn't find on google is how to change scheduling of beagle and make sure beagled doesn't start in working hour. If beagled wish to index some files, it should do it in the evening, don't do it in working hour! Is it possible at all? First I thought beagle is started by cron, but I am not sure if I should remove beagle-crawl-system from cron.daily. I think perhaps beagled is started as a per-user process but cron is used to manage system process. Besides, removing beagle completely from cron is stupid, because beagle is useful, it simply decided to work in wrong time. Best approach: how about SuSE design it in this way? That "beagled only starts if load average in the past 10 minute is lower then 0.5 (configurable)". This gives beagled a smart brain, it can even start itself in launch time when noticed nobody used the desktop for a while. -- 锐业软服（国内业务） http://www.realss.cn Real SoftService http://www.realss.com 销售咨询(Sales Department): 0086 592 20 99987 (Chinese, German, English) 国际业务(International Sales): 0086 10 8460 6011 (German and English) 联系：厦门大学科技园，嘉庚二号楼6楼 邮政：厦门大学2312号信箱（邮编361005）
