Hello all

There is strange problem (maybe a very special case) we still have with much
load on an
alpha System using DEC OSF 4.0d patchlevel 3. (Alphastation with 128 MB Ram,
266 Mhz)

If i monitor the performance of some systems with top or other tools (not
only this), I can see, that the
system itself is using 50-70% of the CPU. Nobody is working on the machine
and this problem appears not everytime ??? The inetd tasks uses 10-12% cpu
usage when this happens and if i kill and restart him the problem is gone.
Until it comes back (hours/minutes later). Nobody knows why. The sytem just
hast mounted a few NFS Devices and it also happens if no Database (Informix
Online 7.3) is
running.


I canīt see with ps any process which is using the cpu so much ?

Hope someone can help me.

Bye
Holger
