Greetings,
I'm seeing some major CPU usage from talk.
Here's the 'top' output for two users who have telneted in to a P50 box
running 2.0.5-RELEASE:
PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND
4999 slatera 93 0 236K 636K run 3:26 47.65% 47.65% talk
4983 holmesa 94 0 236K 636K run 5:28 46.58% 46.58% talk
Here's the PS output. They're talking to each other...
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND
slatera 4999 60.9 2.1 236 636 p1- R 2:31PM 4:13.48
/usr/bin/talk holmesa
holmesa 4983 61.1 2.1 236 636 p0- R 2:31PM 6:15.69
/usr/bin/talk slatera
Does anyone have any idea why there would be some much CPU usage?
thanks,
---
