Syslogd process uses all available cpu & console app won't run.

I have a Mac Mini (G4 power PC) running 10.5.5. Just recently after several minutes the system never wakes. It just shows the SBBOD. All I can do is hold down the power button and reboot. When the system reboots, using the activity monitor, I see that the process named syslogd uses all available cpu. I can still do things, but the cpu is saturated.
I took a snapshot of the syslogd process, and I can post it here if anyone thinks it might help.
If I activate the console application, the window comes up then hangs with the SBBOD.
The syslogd process uses all available cpu right after reboot, and does so regardless of which user (including root) is logged in. Attempting to kill the syslogd process with the activity monitor does nothing

Thanks! It took a long time for the disk utility to fix the permissions, but as soon as it did, the logger process calmed down. Looking at the log file now, I see it was my McAfee virus scan causing the logger to flip-out.
I'm now looking for a new MAC anti-virus program.

    just to let everyone know.
    I repaired my disk permissions, and "PRESTO" the syslogd process called down enough for me to find out it was my McAfee VirusScan application.
    Now I have to remember when things get funny, repair permissions.

  • Messaging Server 4: imapd uses all available CPU

    Busy IMAP servers consume all available CPU capacity.
    <P>
    Customers with many (100+) simultaneous client IMAP connections may find that
    imapd runs very slowly. This problem is caused by IMAP commands sent by the
    client regarding shared folders.
    <P>
    Newer versions of Communicator send less CPU intensive commands. Netscape
    recommends that customers upgrade all clients to Communicator 4.5 or later.
    <P>
    Customers with Messaging Server 4.03 and later can disable discovery of
    shared folders by clients. Mail administrators who do not use shared folders may wish to turn off
    shared folders with the follwoing command:
    <P>
    configutil -o local.store.sharedfolders -v off
    <P>
    Shared folders are controlled by a configdb

  • Db2acd Process consumes all available CPU.

    Folks,
              We are on DB2 9.5 and we have recently updated the FixPak to 4 on the Sandbox environment.
    The environment is flatlined on cpu with the db2acd process consuming as much cpu as it can. If you stop the system this process does not stop, you have to physically kill it.
    Has anybody else had issues with this process ( db2 health monitor ), I think it was previously known as db2hmon.
    We are not sure if the problem existed before the FixPak upgrade, however we cannot upgrade our FixPaks with confidence.
    The operating system is aix 6.1.
    Thanks
    Regards Russell

  • Java using all available cpu

    I am having an issue with my weblog server. Whenever someone try's to get to my weblog server the java process takes up all the processor. And I cannot access my weblogs.

    Just wondering if you ever solved your problem? When I have WO running my
    java process is taking about 90-100% CPU.

  • CS5 not using all available memory/CPU

    I'm sure this is the opposite complaint you usually get, but for some reason AME will only sometimes use all available memory/CPU power.  I'm on an 8 core Mac Pro, and while AME will sometimes register as using ~%1,000 CPU and just blitz through videos, other times it hovers around %100 and processes at regular speed.  Right now, for example, it's using about 600 MB of memory, leaving over 3.6 GB free.  Is there any way to assure that it always runs at max speed?

    There's another thread with a similar set of issues. Other than the disk subsystem, there is another possibility for the bottleneck. That is, the codecs that are used to decode the input video files may not be efficiently multithreaded. Hence the codec responsible for creating the output file, the CPU and the disk subsystem all could be lightning fast and collectively they may all be waiting for frames to be served up by the decoder. You can check whether the disk subsystem is the bottleneck by creating a RAM disk (assuming that you have enough system RAM) and both putting all input files on and writing the output files to the RAM drive.

  • Why can't I make Lightroom use all the CPU-Power (all cores) available for generating Previews?

    Dear Lightroom Team,
    I've been a Lightroom user since the very first Beta, and I am truly happy with the work you deliver. It changed my way of editing forever, and you guys keep improving it.
    Yet there is that one question that bothers me, and that i'm looking for an answer for.
    My Workflow has the generate Previews checkbox checked by standard. I usually import between 150 and 2000 photos at once, on occaions it can be up to 5000 photos. Generating Previews always takes a significant amount of time, and Lightroom is only using 25% of my CPU Power while doing so. (using a MacBook Pro 8,2)
    I understand the concept, that only using 25% CPU enables me to use the computer while waiting for the Previews. But most of the time I just grab myself a cup of coffee, do the dishes or other stuff, while waiting for the Previews. Usually I rund out of things to do, because it takes ages to Process all the photos. So I would really love to make Lightroom use ALL the cpu power possible.
    I'm sure you guys have spent a lot of thoughts while coding this and have a very good answer handy. Looking forward reading it!
    all the best,
    Wolfgang

    On my four-year old Windows 7 i7-860 system LR4.4.1 takes ~0.5 sec. per Canon 5D MKII 21Mp raw image to render 'Standard-Sized' previews with LR Catalog Settings 'Standard Preview Size' set to '2048' pixels. I consider that pretty fast!
    I usually build 1:1 full-size previews on import, which takes ~5.0 sec. per image. Processor utilization varies between 15-50% for Standard-Sized previews and 15-65% for 1:1 previews. I consider this pretty slow, but it doesn't stop me from working on the images inside LR's Library and Develop modules.
    I wait until 'Copy and import photos' has completed and can see Preview Building has started. LR doesn't slow-down much even with the 1:1 preview building going on in the background. Have you tried working in LR during the preview building (i.e. sorting,  rating, keywording, and Develop adjustments)?

  • How can I make app use all available space in window?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to embed my flash app in a browser window and have
    it use all available space. I've found plenty of tutorials online
    that tell me how to make it take up the whole window, and they
    work, but that isn't what I want. I have other content on the page
    (a bar of links across the top). I thus want the flash app to take
    up the full width and almost all the hight, leaving enough vertical
    space for the link bar at the top. Right now, I have it set to 100%
    for both height and width in the object tag, and it displays the
    link bar, but the bottom of the flash gets chopped off (an amount
    exactly equal to the height of the link bar). It seems that setting
    height=100% means 100% of the full window height, not the unused
    height. Is there any way to make it do what I want?

    I believe the 100% will be relative to the parent container
    of the Object/Embed tag.
    If the Flex app is in say, a DIV that is correctly sized,
    then 100% will fill the DIV. So I think you will need to get your
    div sizing dynamically. A CSS expression maybe?

  • "airport" process uses all of the memory an cpu

    After I reinstalled my MacBook and updated to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.8) my airport network behaves very strange. When I boot my MacBook or disconnect/connect my Airport network a process called "airport" is consuming all the CPU and memory. It uses one core exclusivly and gows to 1,2 GByte of RAM (even more virtual Memory). This slows down the macbook to almost still and heats up the CPU.
    The only thing I can do is to kill the process. Then everything works fine. But this is annoying.
    It seems to make no difference if I use a wireless LAN or not. When airport is enabled then this bug occurs.

    On this thread,
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=349
    2852, people that have Check Point Software's
    SecureClient are reporting the airport process using
    ~95% of CPU time.
    I had SecureClient installed and I can confirm that
    if you uninstall SecureClient, the airport process
    works normally again. I don't know if this is the
    only source of this problem, but if you happen to
    have SecureClient, then you might want to uninstall
    and confirm if this solves your problem.
    Also I would be curious if anyone is having this
    problem that has never had SecureClient, or any 3rd
    party VPN software.
    I can confirm that at least some of my problem with the "airport" process was related to VPN software. After uninstalling the Cisco VPN client, problems dramatically reduced. Interestingly, I still have the Checkpoint client installed, but only rarely see problems with "airport".

  • Automator app won't run from double-click

    automator app won't run from double-click in finder or from alert from ical. Will only run if I open in automator editor.
    I found a solution on my own. I opened activity monitor and all the automator apps that I run daily were hanging up and the auromator launch was hanging up. I force quit them from the activity monitor. Now it works again.

    I might have gotten there eventually on my own, but I suspect finding your post saved me a lot of work. Thanks for posting your solution.
