- Processes Eating up CPU and Memory
- Posted by Barry Skidmore on June 28th, 2003
I am using Red Hat 8.0 with kernel 2.4.20-18.8.
I have recently noticed when using the Gnome System Monitor that two
processes between them are using all the CPU time (100%) and memory (246
MB out of 248 MB).
These are:
1. The system monitor itself (gnome-system-monitor), and
2. The Red Carpet Daemon (rcd 1.4.2).
As you can imagine I am sometimes unable to open several programs
at once because of low memory.
Thanks,
Barry

Hi,
By the process of poking various fingers onto keys Barry Skidmore
generated this:
I've had rcd do that to me. 1.4.3 does it as well. Your best bet is to
become su and type /etc/init.d/rcd stop - works every time.
TTFN
Paul

Solved my own problem -- upgraded from rcd 1.4.2 => rcd 1.4.3
