[cobalt-developers] swatch

["Daniel Foster" <daniel@xxxxxxxx>]

There's a process called swatch running that's taking up all (well,
96%) of my processor time on a RaQ3i.  The line from `ps` says it's
been called like
/bin/bash -c /usr/local/sbin/swatch >/dev/null 2>&1

I have never typed this, and I'm a bit concerned over it's excessive
processor usage.  I look for anything named swatch* with find, and
apparently there's '/etc/cobalt/swatch/', 'swatch.conf' in that
directory, '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Cobalt/swatch.pm', upon
reading of which I can gain nothing, and '/usr/local/sbin/swatch'.

There's a load of other config files in '/etc/cobalt/swatch', but it's
beyond me what this actually does.  Can anyone shed any light and tell
me if it's okay to kill it?  If I can't then could anyone recommend
something in order to reduce it's processor usage somewhat, since this
ought to be a fairly lightly loaded box at the moment.

For those who do not, none will suffice.
