Hi all!
I've got an old netbook sitting here, running F20, performing a dedicated
function, where nobody ever logs into it (except me, once in a long
while).
I've noticed lately that it seems AWFULLY slow (even for the slow
computer that it normally is). Last night I logged in to see if I could
see what's going on, and I fund a load average around 17-20, ten
instances of journalctl running, and over a gig of swap space in use.
Uptime, as of that moment was around six days.
In the output of top I didn't see anything particularly startling in
memory usage other than the gig of swap.
I did a "yum update", and rebooted this morning to pick up the new
kernel, libs, etc. and now it has no instances of journalctl running
and zero swap usage.
I'm puzzled as to why or how it got all those journalctl processes running,
as I thought it was a commandline app for viewing lots, and not something
the system would be running on its own.
This morning, "last" shows more or less normal-looking events, so unless
lastlog has been hacked it doesn't seem likely that there's been some
bad person in the system:
