Public bug reported: I've been trying to track down processes that keep the system busy and found that when running virt-manager virt-manager.py is being exec'd every second from the "init --user" process:
19:19:33 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user) 19:19:33 -> child pid 22112 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) 19:19:33 exit: 0 pid 22112 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) 19:19:34 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user) 19:19:34 -> child pid 22113 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) 19:19:34 exit: 0 pid 22113 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) 19:19:35 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user) 19:19:35 -> child pid 22114 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) 19:19:35 exit: 0 pid 22114 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) 19:19:36 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user) 19:19:36 -> child pid 22115 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) 19:19:36 exit: 0 pid 22115 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) 19:19:37 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user) 19:19:37 -> child pid 22116 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) 19:19:37 exit: 0 pid 22116 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) 19:19:38 fork: parent pid 3037 (init --user) 19:19:38 -> child pid 22117 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) 19:19:38 exit: 0 pid 22117 (python /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py) The script seems to be executing very quickly and terminating almost immediately. However, is it really necessary for this python script to be exec'd every second? It seems a little bit over the top. ** Affects: virt-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292674 Title: virt-manager.py is being exec'd every second when running virt-manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+bug/1292674/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
