Anyone know why the init process on a server (sles8 IHS 6.0.2 ) would be consuming this much CPU (or any for that matter)?
It's not really the init process itself consuming CPU. The numbers reported are for the children of init. Normally when a process terminates, the consumed resources get accumulated into the parent of the process. When the parent terminates before the child, init becomes the parent of the process and accumulates the resource data. Basically what you see reported against init is the left-over of the last minute. The resource usage of this child process in the previous minutes was reported for the process itself. You might see this happen for example when you stop some daemon process (part of the startup of those services detaches it from the process that started it). So it is just normal.
