Has anyone else had the problem of getting a red cpu status of "Load is CRITICAL!" with the process list showing a Xymon process of rpm being the top user of CPU resources? I looked all over the source code and don't see anywhere that Xymon is using the rpm command to do anything.
Xymon isn't running the rpm process...xymon is alerting you to the fact that your CPU is pegged, and that the rpm process appears to be at the top of the CPU hogging process list.
Actually, it could be running out of Xymon - but it is not a standard feature of the Xymon packages that I know of.
If it really is the xymon user running the rpm command, then check for an add-on script that triggers this. My guess would be something running "rpm -Va" as a "poor-man's integrity check".
tasks.cfg or clientlaunch.cfg is probably a good place to start.
