- On my new ADB mono turbo station (running 3.0), I see all these
- <mach-task> processes. More seem to appear as time goes by. I never
- noticed anything like this on my old 2.1 system.
-
- "ps aux" returns lots and lots of lines like this:
-
- USER PID %CPU %MEM VSIZE RSIZE TT STAT TIME COMMAND
- root -1 0.0 0.0 0K 0K ? N 0:00 <mach-task>
- root -1 0.0 0.0 0K 0K ? N 0:00 <mach-task>
- root -1 0.0 0.0 0K 0K ? N 0:00 <mach-task>
-
- Is there a problem? They're apparently not using resources, but
- they sure clutter up "ps" output, which is annoying. Is there anything
- that can be done to get rid of these?
-
- Thanks,
-
