The past few days i've woken to a dead battery. Tonight I noticed high
cpu while running Pidgin. Pidgin crashed and the usage continued. It
was a process sh owned by root , at 90-100% usage. I killed it.

A few minutes later i loaded pidgin and the cpu platued at 100% again.
It was sh again, so i killed it.

I started pidgin 2x more without problems, so now I think it was just
coincidental. Is this something being launched by cron? Where is cron
on this anyway? Anyone know what that sh may have been doing? Top only
displayed 'sh', nothing more.
