First of all my linux machine isn't a production machine, in fact it probably can't even qualify as a development machine either. It sits idle for the majority of the time as I tinker with various aspects in an attempt to learn something about Linux. I have noticed though after loading a CPULoad DockApp that my CPU load averages between 50-80%. Since it's not supposed to be doing anything, I thought I'd investigate.
After running ps aux, I noticed that PID #4 ([kapm-idled]) was taking up over 90% of the CPU cycles. Itried killing it off with kill 4 but it remains. Could somebody tell me what this process is, and how I can successfully kill it, or even if I should kill it. Thanx!!
