After letting our aluminum iMac running Leopard 10.5.7 sleep overnight, I woke it and noticed the hard drive was running for more than a few seconds. Unusual, while just getting into Safari and Mail. Thinking that Spotlight was indexing unexpectedly, I launched Activity Monitor and found only one "md" item at "0.1" under CPU blinking on and off. I took three screen shots, the first two while the drive was still spinning, and the third just after it stopped, all at 10:37 and 10:38 AM.
I did not catch the "md" item. With the screen showing Active Processes, the first two screen shots show Process ID 465, Name find, User nobody at the top. The CPU counts were 9.8 and 41.4. Window Server was 3.6 and 2.5, with everything else at 1.5 or below. The little graphics at the bottom show columns rising to about 40 to 70%. So what was "nobody" doing? Should I care? Bracketing the times listed above is this from the Console All Messages log: 5/22/09 9:33:58 PM configd[14] setting hostname to "Macintosh.home" 5/22/09 9:40:13 PM kernel System Sleep 5/23/09 10:33:34 AM kernel Wake reason = EHC1 EHC2 5/23/09 10:33:34 AM kernel System Wake 5/23/09 10:33:34 AM kernel Previous Sleep Cause: 0 5/23/09 10:33:26 AM configd[14] setting hostname to "Macintosh.local" 5/23/09 10:33:34 AM kernel USB (EHCI):Port 4 on bus 0xfa has remote wakeup from some device 5/23/09 10:33:34 AM kernel Ethernet [AppleYukon2]: Link up on en0, 100- Megabit, Full-duplex, Symmetric flow-control, Debug [796d, 6f48,0de1,0200,45e1,4000] 5/23/09 10:33:34 AM mDNSResponder[16] NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 192.168.1.1:53 5/23/09 10:33:34 AM configd[14] setting hostname to "Macintosh.home" 5/23/09 10:44:58 AM [0x0-0x28028].com.apple.Safari[278] Debugger() was called! 5/23/09 10:53:04 AM ntpd[26] time reset -0.459637 s 5/23/09 11:29:34 AM kernel System Sleep Are there any other logs I should look for?
