Thanks! &nbsp;Things are back to normal at the moment and no mchinfo procs running. &nbsp;I will try what you said, if it comes back. <br />
<br />
FYI -- no wait really -- all the time was in Kernal and User, with Wait and Idle being basically empty. <br />
<br />
I did notice paging faults seemed high. &nbsp;Bouncing around 300K - 1500K<br />
Normally I see things like 15-900 there. (i.e. withOUT the K)<br />
<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I can't identify any run away procs, like normal when we get high. &nbsp;Normally 10 is high, 20 is very high, 30 is crazy high. &nbsp;We are at 70 now!!<br />
<br />
The only strange thing I have seen is four mchinfo processes taking up about 5% each. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
any ideas?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Unix OS

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
