If i understand the magic correctly, onlyservice will be called a number of times as logwatch loops through the several individual service config files. So i don't think its a big shock to see this process reappear after you kill it since i think it gets run multiple times. Why its chewing lots of cpu that i don't know. I'm seldom awake when logwatch runs as part of the cron.daily scripts. onlyservice is located in /etc/log.d/scripts/shared and is owned by the logwatch package -jef
