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,
