Hmmm, interesting, but what does TOP say about memory, swap, CPU (idle) and
so forth. If you are saying "my RAQ4r decided to max out the CPU" then
something has to show up either in the "ps fax" or top. Top breaks down the
utilization figures into user, system, nice, idle. Which one is "using" all
the cpu?? It may not be a "single" process, but may be the number of
processes that a particular program is spawning.
EG:
try "ps faux | grep mail" to see how many processes doing mail are running
try "ps faux | grep http" to see how many http processes are running
