"parentalcont" process using excessive CPU
I noticed my iMac really struggling this evening with a web conference - the case heating up and the video connection dropping quite often. I looked at Activity Monitor and the % User value at the bottom jumped to 25-30% every few seconds with nothing really running, but no processes in the list were showing high CPU use. I used the "top" command in terminal and found that the process "parentalcont" was consuming excessive CPU cycles (it showed around 95% every few seconds).
I just set up an account for my 6-year-old to play with her online disney games and what-not a few days ago and enabled parental controls. Never used them before. After going to "Preferences>Users" and disabling parental controls the problem went away.
Anyone have any idea why parental controls would act this way? When I'm not even logged in to the account that uses them?
Thanks.
"parentalcont" is what displays in the "COMMAND" column when using the "top" function in terminal. That column appears to be limited to 12 characters so it is probably truncating the name. (e.g. "Folder Actio" is another one listed). This process doesn't show up at all in Activity Monitor.
An update: After some trial and error, I've found that the "Limit Applications" function of parental controls appears to be the culprit. When I tell it to limit applications to "Up to 9+" the CPU use skyrockets after a 10-30 seconds, and the process shows its state as "stuck".
Kind of a head-scratcher but I think the solution may be to just not use the "Limit Applications" feature. All I really wanted was the Simple Finder and to block bad websites.

Discoveryd process uses 100% CPU - Safari Can't find the server
Hello
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I lose connection to the internet 2 or 3 times a day. (Outlook goes offline at the same time)
This is with a wired connection. (Wi-Fi is turned off)
Safari gives me the "Safari Can't Find the Server" message.
Restarting the computer solves the issue temporarily.
While I'm unable to connect to the internet, Activity Monitor shows a process named "discoveryd" that uses 100% CPU.
Force quitting this process gives me back access to the internet instantly. Unfortunately, I suffered a kernel panic (auto restart) a few minutes after force quitting discoveryd. I'm not 100% sure those 2 are related but it would be an odd coincidence as I never experienced had a single kernel on that system. Haven't tried force quitting that process since.
I'm using this iMac in a work environment. (Connected to a windows file server and exchange)
This issue has been happening 2-3 times a day since the day I upgraded to Yosemite.
Any pointers on what could fix this issue ?

Forte Partition using excessive CPU
Dear All,
I have an intermittent problem whereby a forte partition seems to be
hogging excessive CPU but upon investigation doesn't appear to be doing
anything.
We can identify the partition and want to restart it with logging on the
partition.
Does anyone know what flags to set so that the problem can be diagnosed
Regards
Ceri Davies
[email protected]Could you do us the honour of linking to this fix? I'm having the same problem; java using 100-120% CPU for some mystery process, even when every app has been quit. Googling it only points in the direction of coder sites and this thread, which whilst being 'fixed' doesn't actually offer one.

Creative Cloud using Excessive CPU
Since an update early today (9/12/2013), the Creative Cloud executable is consuming excessive CPU. It's basically using an entire 100% CPU of a core on an i7 6-core system. At first it said I had updates in the task notification area, so I clicked on the notification, but no response occurred. After several minutes of no response, I noticed the fans on my computer were running fast, which is unusual when the computer is sitting there idle. I opened up process explorer to see what was going on. I found the Create Cloud suite consuming an entire core's worth of CPU. See snapshot.
Is this app doing a busy-poll loop?
is someone at Adobe listening? Please fix this problem ASAP!Hey,
Have a look at http://forums.adobe.com/message/5469789#5469789
Hope it helps. -
How to kill Forms Runaway Process using 95% CPU and running for 2 hours.
We had a situation at E-Business Suite customer (using Oracle VM server) where some of Form processes were not being cleared by form timeout settings automatically.
Also when user exits the form session from front end, the linux form process (PID) and DB session did not exit properly, so they got hung.
They were spiking CPU and memory usage and causing e-business suite to perform slowely and ultimately causing VM host to reboot the production VM guest (running on Linux).
We could see the form processes (PIDs) using almost 100% cpu with "top" command and running for a long time.
Also we verified those Form Sessions did not exist in the application itself.
ie. Using from Grid Control -> OAM-> Site Map -> Monitoring (tab) -> "Form Sessions".
It means that we could safely kill that form process from Linux using "kill -9 <PID>" command.
But that required a continuous monitoring and manual DBA intervention as customer is 24x7 customer.
So, I wrote a shell script to do the following;
• Cron job runs every half an hour 7 days a week which calls this shell script.
• Shell script runs and tries to find "top two" f60webmx processes (form sessions) using over 95% cpu with 2 minutes interval.
• If no process is found or CPU% is less than 95%, it exits and does nothing.
• If top process is found, it searches for its DB session using apps login (with hidden apps password file - /home/applmgr/.pwd).
a. If DB session is NOT found (which means form process is hung), it kills the process from unix and emails results to <[email protected]>
b. If DB session is found, it waits for 2 hours so that form process times automatically via form session timeout setting.
It also emails the SQL to check the DB session for that form process.
c. If DB session is found and it does not timeout after 2 hours,
it kills the process from unix (which in turn kills the DB session). Output is emailed.
This are the files required for this;
1. Cron job which calls the shell script looks like this;
# Kill form runaway process, using over 95% cpu having no DB session or DB session for > 2hrs
00,30 * * * * /home/applmgr/forms_runaway.sh 2>&1
2. SQL that this script calls is /home/applmgr/frm_runaway.sql and looks like;
set head off
set verify off
set feedback off
set pagesize 0
define form_client_PID = &1
select count(*) from v$session s , v$process p, FND_FORM_SESSIONS_V f where S.AUDSID=f.audsid and p.addr=s.paddr and s.process='&form_client_PID';
3. Actual shell script is /home/applmgr/forms_runaway.sh and looks like;
# Author : Amandeep Singh
# Description : Kills runaway form processes using more than 95% cpu
# and Form Session with no DB session or DB session > 2hrs

If you have the same problem with some other unix and DB processes, the script can be easily modified and used.
But use this with thorough testing first (by commenting out <kill -9 $PID1> lines.
Good luck.

High CPU "% User" after update, but no process using much CPU...
Hi guys,
since I did the recent system or security update for my Macbook, my computer crashes a lot and freezes. The fans run constantly, and the weirdest thing is, that in my Activity Monitor no program is actually using much CPU capacity.
BUT, the usage screen below (wih the red and green squares) is showing that the system is running under full capacity. The cause for that is mentioned next to it the user percentage display "% User" shows values between 50 and 90% or so.
What is causing it, and how can I get rid of it. At the current state I can't even surf the net properly as Firefox and Safari freeze constantly.
Thanks for you help in advanced.
A desperate RigoX.....Sorry forgot to give the below details.

There is one hardware issue: The magsafe battery port stopped charging the battery, so the laptop must be plugged in all the time.

I upgraded the iTunes to 11.0.4
Everytime it is running since then, even in the background i noticed that the process for it is has a vey high cpu usage (above 95% at all times). This is while im not even using it to play or sync or anything.. the problem is persistent. I think thats really abnormal. can anyone suggest soemthing?Hi General Alis,

Plugin-container process using 50+% CPU
There is some process called plugin-container initiated by firefox/thunderbird that sometimes uses 50% or more CPU.
Someone has this problem too?
Thanks in advance.You can also try a Firefox plugin called flashblock. I think it's also available in the AUR. It requires a single click to allow flash, and you can whitelist certain sites.
You might also look at Adblock Plus. -
J2EE Processes using 25% CPU load without load
Hi
We are running a Portal cluster with 2 cluster application nodes with each 2 J2EE server processes and a dispatcher.
We experiences that after some time the J2EE server processes can start using typical 25% CPU without any load on the portal - after some time the load typically increase to approx. 50% CPU (still without user load) and the only "solution" is to restart the processes.
Anyone you have experienced a similar behaviour?
BR
TomAre you doing load balancing too somewhere?
I though I read somewhere about some replication between nodes that goes on. If they transfer their information and drop it, that is fine. But they don't. On the next round they exchange the new info and info from the last time. It just grows. Look at you DB server, check to see if one of the DB's grows with the CPU load.
The other thing is logging. I am a log freak myself but, sometimes I get into trouble by logging too much. Next time your CPU loads check *.log and temp logs, see if there are any over 10 gig.
Not that I never had one,
no,
never. -
Doc2text process using 100% cpu for way too long
I've run into this issue before, and have never received a satisfactory resolution.
When we publish certain PDF documents via collab to the KD, the doc2text process on our portal servers (also our API servers) spin up to 100% CPU for about 90 seconds. This causes the publish from collab to fail, so we resort to directly uploading the file to the KD via content upload.
1) Why is doc2text running on our portal servers in the first place? Is this a result of the portal server or api service? If i move the API service off to another machine, will that remove this CPU hog from our front end servers?
2) Has anyone seen this before, or found a way around it? Is there a newer version of doc2text in 10gR3 that isn't so terrible?
I'm preparing to move to 1-cpu virtuals in our new environment so any process that takes up 100% of the CPU is going to kill performance.Doc2text is native search client functionality used by portal, automation, ws, collab, publisher, etc. The portal components use it when indexing content to search server. It is installed seperately with each portal component. If you have multiple portal components installed on the same box, the ones that use Doc2text will share it from the common folder where it is located. Doc2text uses different libraries for the purpose of raw text extraction and processing, the processed information being sent in a proprietary format to the search server.
Doc2text is a processor heavy component as it needs to execute intensives tasks necessary to parse and extract raw data from such file formats as Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat. Some files may be more complex to extract data from and take longer for this task to complete.
The best way to increase performance would be to install the various portal components onto their own machines. For example not installing portal and automation on seperate servers. This way when you run a crawler job that imports files, the running of doc2text will not use cpu cycles on the portal web server. -
Hi,
I have recently noticed that my MBP has been running hot on and off so I checked the activity monitor to see what was up.
A client process (PID 2196) is using around 50% of cpu and coupled with this is a kernal task using about the same amount of cpu. I can quit the process and everything operates normal, however it continues to come up and is becoming quite annoying.
Anyone know how I can identify the culprit of the process and stop it occuring all the time?
Thanks.HowBizzarre wrote:

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
If you select the process and click on the "inspect" button in the tool bar a window will open. Click on the tab for "Open Files and Ports". The first entry there will probably be the file that is being run. -
Apple mobile device exe used excessive CPU
I am running iTunes on Windows 7 32 bits and as sson as I open Itunes, Apple Mobile Device exe. will start to use up to 50% of my CPU. Even when I have closed iTunes this contnues. Is there a fif for this since it will of course mean that all other processes will be slowed down and that the heat from the CPU finally will lower the life of my lap op.
You can try looking at some of the previous posts on the right under the heading "More Like This" with your same problem.

On a fast dual core processor, WMP300N can chew up half of the cycles.
This executable becomes active when LinkSys Monitor is used to manage the WMP300N PCI Adapter.
On the Linksys Wireless-N Products page
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Promotion_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1144421946975&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper
The WMP300N adapter isn't even listed.
Even when there is no network traffic at all, WMP300N chews up about 20% of the cycles, so I set about to find out why. Pretty simple, really ... just run sysinternals Filemon.
http://www.sysinternals.com/
Download:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html
And you'll see wcmp300N chugging thru %windir%\temp looking for GIF files for every Beacon Interval.
Pretty silly ... When can I expect a fix for this?There are a number of discussions here looking at the different possible avenues. A quick troubleshooting would be to:
If you do not want/need to sync over wireless then disable it (uncheck the “Sync with this iOS device over Wi-Fi.” when you have your device connected to iTunes). There seems to be quite a few issues with the APSDaemon.exe.
Run the Diagnostics in the Help menu of iTunes and chack any issues using the help button.
See what is using up the CPU & Memory besides APSDaemon.exe in Task Manager.
If your Security Software is also constantly active see a) and b) below.
a) http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123 [Not an issue for me]
b) http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
c) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3540485?start=15&tstart=0
In my case it appears to be Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 (avp.exe) fighting with Apple Push (APSDaemon.exe) on my Windows XP Pro box. I am not set up with the “Sync with this iOS device over Wi-Fi.” but APSDaemon.exe is running anyway. If I kill it in Task Manager the CPU resource usage drops to normal. No cure yet, just work arounds.
