Scenario: my machine is on but hasn't been used for several hours when
I notice the hard drive taking lots of hits. I log on and run 'top'
which tells me a 'find', owned by root, is using 25% of the CPU. 'ps -ef',
even as root, doesn't show the 'find'.
Question: how do I figure out who started

Check out pstree. It can show you what process spawned it, and you can get
its pid. Then you can do something like ps aux | grep pid and get
all of the details on that process.
