sh keeps spiking CPU core

Featured Replies

Posted

I am seeing one core of my server spike about every 5-10 seconds and in htop I see "sh" shoot to the top of the list.  SH is used to run scripts but I'm not running anything at the moment.  Only have some hourly, daily, weekly and monthly stuff scheduled.

 

Is there any way to figure out what sh is doing and stop it?

Thanks

 

Update: Reboot did not fix it.  I can't tell what this sh process keeps doing every 5-10 seconds

Start in safe mode, if OK, uninstall all plugins and start adding back one by one until you find the culprit.

 

P.S.: I remember Dynamix Cache Directories could have such a repeating spike with certain settings, don't remember what the actual process was.

It was cache directories. Any idea what settings could cause that? I’m basically running default config.

IIRC it's "scan user shares"

I don’t have that enabled
