I've generally been using KDE, but have been trying to get more
comfortable with icewm because I'm on an 'old' PII 450MHz as my ltsp
server 8-). When I switch to running icewm I see that prelink (at the
moment, at least) is operating and being a real cpu hog taking up >70%
of system/cpu resources. I don't see this at all with KDE. I did a
quick read of 'man prelink' but that doesn't give any light (to me) on
why it's running. Here is a selection of ps -aux and below that a
section of top to show what I mean:
####### ps aux extract with wrapped lines ############
# root 5956 0.0 0.0 5244 1020 ? SN 21:16
0:00 /bin/sh /etc/cron.daily/prelink
# root 5957 0.0 0.0 5144 688 ? SN 21:16 0:00 awk -v
progname=/etc/cron.daily/prelink progname {????? print progname ":
\n"????? progname="";???? }???? { print; }
# root 5965 53.3 0.3 6692 3880 ? RN 21:16
8:50 /usr/sbin/prelink -av -mR -q

Any clues welcome. I'm tempted to kill the app, but since it's running
as a daily cron job it might be doing something useful and get over it
sometime soon :-)
