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. Since this is a "canned" status on a running system, not on a system where Xymon is being built, for example, this is obviously a default process, but where is it coming from?
Thanks,
David
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.
You'll want to look in your crontabs, your cron.d and cron.daily jobs, etc, to determine just what is calling rpm and why.
