It might be interesting to trace the cfagent, so see exactly what it is
doing. You don't really know what snapshot you are getting when you just
run ps at a particular point in time.
Linux: strace -f cfagent -q
Solaris: truss -f cfagent -q # truss output goes to stderr
BSD (and OS X): ktrace -di cfagent -q; ktrace -C; kdump | less; rm ktrace.out
Stick an "env -i" before the cfagent if you don't want your current
environment to influence its behavior.
Also, have you tried cfagent with -d set to various levels?
Best,
Brendan
