I have a 3b1 running 3.51 and am using the user agent to give me
several full-screen UNIXi.
Well, I have not been using it that much and it sits with me logged in
for maybe eight hours. Well, almost invariably, during that time
another 'ua' process starts and just chews up cpu time. Here is an
example of the process table:
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADR SZ:RSZ WCHAN TTY TIME COMD
3 S 0 0 0255 0 20 55 0: 0 250ec ? 17602:08 swapper
1 S 0 1 0 3 49 20 58 6: 9 70900 ? 1:33 init
3 S 0 2 0 3 1 20 56 48: 0 5053e ? 0:04 pagedaemon
3 S 0 3 0 6 3 20 57 0: 0 5b770 ? 73:43 windaemon
1 S 102 21424 1 3 40 20 dd 31: 17 5061e w1 0:11 ua
1 R 102 27411 21526 59 74 20 c4 7: 10 w2 0:01 ps
1 S 102 21526 21424 3 40 20 c3 28: 5 506fe w2 0:14 ksh
1 S 0 86 1 3 27 20 116 12: 9 5cf18 w3 1:42 wmgr
1 S 71 79 1 3 26 20 118 8: 0 4acc0 ? 0:00 lpsched
1 S 0 90 1 3 49 20 ec 19: 11 1ee04 w4 44:21 smgr
1 S 0 26908 1 3 40 20 135 22: 3 508be w4 0:00 sh
1 R 102 26912 26908 56 74 20 14b 31: 20 w4 476:31 ua
The bottom guy is the problem. Does anyone know why this would happen
without me doing anything? It seems that the parent of the ua is that
'sh' process started by init. My inittab file has no such entry.
This is my first experience of UNIX + windows and it is driving me
nuts that I don't yet understand the whole process. Makes ya just
want to throw the whole ua out the 'ole window.... :-)
