Please - can someone explain what happens here once a day when my machine
becomes completely unusable, a tremendous amount of disk i/o begins to occur,
and 'top' shows "run-parts" and "find" at > 80% cpu utilization. What are
they doing? Are they necessary? Can they be controlled. In Googling for
these answers first, all I see are compaints, but no answers. Can someone
PLEASE either explain what these are doing and how they are controlled, or
point me in the right direction? Many thanks.
