This morning when I came to my office i noticed the machine very slow so I did 'top' at the terminal and i see at least 50 process running and they are "kicker-3.4-reve"!!! I am using RedHat Linux
It is taking up memory, how do I get rid of it? How could this happen and how can I avoid it fro happening again? (There is no point in pasting the whole thing but here is a glimpse)
