Re: processor at 100%


you are correct it is Cygrunsrv (woops shouldve looked while typing mail) I use the task manager to end the processes. I dont restart the services and I can ssh from a remote computer like if was running but does not show up in the task manager. I think it might be related to me installing everything. This is my test pc and I installed everything till I figured out the basics of what I needed is there a way to uninstall and reinstall . I have tried using setup.exe but It doesnt take it off.

Thanks

There is no such program as "cygserv".  I presume you mean "cygrunsrv".
Also, which of the two processes consumes 100% of the CPU?  Or do they
each consume 50% (or some other numbers that add up to 100%)?


After ending the processes this drops the processor back to its normal
levels.


How do you end the processes?  If you used "kill", did you try to simply
stop the service (via "cygrunsrv -E sshd" or "net stop sshd") instead?


What is strange is that I can still use these processes afterwords like
normal but it does not max out the processor until the next time I
reboot.


Huh? Do you mean you can restart the service afterwards?


I have a xp antholon 2700 with 512mb ram. what is going on? any ideas on
how to stop this activity.

Thanks


Well, you could attach to the process consuming the most CPU with strace
(for a bit) and see what that shows...  It doesn't look like this is
something others can reproduce, so you'll have to do a bit of debugging on
your system.

FWIW, as a workaround, you can change the startup type of the sshd service
to "manual", and start it yourself (with "cygrunsrv -S sshd" or "net start
sshd") whenever you need it.
HTH,
