Hi admins,
These days on a Tru64 4.0F server i noticed that the Xdec
process was consuming much CPU.
The following line is extracted from a syd utility display :
PID Username BP Pr Sleep RSize CP/RT CPUSeconds User Thr S Cur Command
599 root 44 44 0 3312K 3% 3444.4 18% 1 S 34% Xdec
Then i tried to see what was this process number 599 doing exactly :
# ps -edf | grep -i 599
root 599 553 7.2 Jul 23 ?? 57:26.41 /usr/bin/X11/X :0
-auth /var/dt/authdir/authfiles/A:0-aaarja
Using the process_tree tcl script (coming along with PM) i saw the
following process tree :
553 root /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon
599 root /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -auth
/var/dt/authdir/authfiles/A:0-aaarja
646 root dtlogin <:0> -daemon
10655 root /usr/dt/bin/dtsession
10701 root dtwm
10702 root /usr/dt/bin/dtterm -session dtaaawfa -ls
10700 root -ksh (ksh)
10703 root sh -c /usr/bin/X11/dxconsole
10705 root /usr/bin/X11/dxconsole
25688 root /usr/dt/bin/dtexec -open 0 -ttprocid 1.xN1C8 01
1068
So my questions are :
1) Are my displays normal displays ? (no loop ?, no abnormal process or
anything ?)
2) What is exactly the function of the Xdec process (of course i know that
it deals with
W windows but i d'like to know what can make it consuming more CPU)
3) I precise that we have an aplication running on this server which uses
X11 protocol
to display windows on PCs with X server software.
Thanks a lot for your help
