init / (idle) CPU USAGE

2003-10-03 Thread James
Hello,

I just setup a new machine, And I installed 5.1 on the system. I have been using 
and running FreeBSD for over 3/4 years and I have never seen this problem. The 
question is if I killed pid #11 would init die? The process has been using 99% CPU for 
the past 2 days and wont stop. What is casuing this idle ghost process and cant it be 
stoped and can i kill it without problems. All replys will be appreciated. thanks

You can't kill it.  It's a pseudo-process that runs when no other
processes are runnable.

Ok so in other words the machine is not really using 99% cpu and the process
is ok. Hence my loads are  0.00
