Have the same issue
1504 root 20 0 103700 87464 1752 R 97.1 0.3 4525:02
initctl
> sudo strace -p `pidof initctl`
$ poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 3729760780) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}])
endless repeat...
This report is open since 2013 and I'm reporting in 2019. Is there any solution
to this issue??
Thanks

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1173915] Re: initctl continuously takes 100% of CPU
Any update on a fix to this problem? My work around is to kill the initctl if/when I restart; I haven't noticed any adverse effect on anything I do on a daily basis and it is running more than 2+ weeks with no sign of initctl going crazy. Since I very rarely reboot (only after any updates and such), it is not a big deal for me now but would be nice to get a fix to this problem. Not sure the following info helps but I am sure it will give some clue. I attached gdb and dumped the stack trace after a fresh reboot (i.e. when initctl is fine) as well as the same when it goes crazy to compare. Here are the two traces. stack trace normal (siting in poll() normally) == (gdb) where #0 0x7f00ff2ba0a0 in __poll_nocancel () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:84 #1 0x7f00ff5ae78f in ??

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1173915] Re: initctl continuously takes 100% of CPU
Happens on Ubuntu 16.10 (fresh install, Compiz fallback session) after a few
hours of uptime.
htop reports 100% usage of one CPU for the command
/sbin/initctl emit indicator-services-start
which goes on indefinitely. Tracing (with only this initctl process
around) yields similar to #5
$ sudo strace -p `pidof initctl`
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1)= 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}])
[endless repeat]
/var/log/upstart is empty and dmesg/kern.log/syslog don't help.
The random battery drain is annoying (especially during presentations),
and apt purging upstart depends on a little too much for comfort.
Suggestions?

Same issue here, Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits on a Toshiba Portege Z30-A 18J, custom kernel 3.18.11 64 bits though. I suspect it has something to do with certain processes running on the system, such as perhaps Nautilus, but no hard evidence. The problem only occurs after a long uptime duration.
