In reference to my earlier post: Is there a log of past threads that are now closed?I gave the process a kill -STOP signal and started examining the details. I can't seem to figure out why it is acting up. The problem lies with IcedTea, which is (from what I understand) something to do with Java applets on the web. Below is the contents of /proc/13784/cmdline: /usr/lib64/jvm/jre//bin/java-Xbootclasspath/a:/usr/share/icedtea-web/netx.jar:/usr/share/icedtea-web/plugin.jar:/usr/share/java/js.jar-classpath/usr/lib64/jvm/jre//lib/rt.jarsun.applet.PluginMain/tmp/icedteaplugin-max/13636-icedteanp-plugin-to-appletviewer/tmp/icedteaplugin-max/13636-icedteanp-appletviewer-to-pluginI've never poked around the /proc directories. Which file would be the most telling of my issue here? This process uses 90%+ of my processor speed and brings my core temperature to 75C (sometimes causing a shutdown).EDIT This process uses 170%+ of my CPU according to htop
