java running at background
hi, I just installed Java sdk 1.4.2_05 for itanium in my server, after installation the java seems like running in tha background and taking up 99% of the processing power and slow down the server. although i have killed the process, but i just a bit curious on why it runs at the back ground and takes up the processor resources so much?
there was no one using java application at that time.
my server specs:
itanium 2 1.5 dual CPU
redhar linux 3.0 AS.

I don't believe I have an answer for you but I have come across an application that exhibited similar behavior.....the app was using 99% of client cpu even when you were not acutally using the app. It turned out that the client machine was using an applet and that applet contained a 3rd party table grid that used "hover help". The event listener involved was somehow constantly executing thus using 99% of cpu. Amusingly, we discovered this problem when some of our field office computers started to overheat!
Java does not "run", as such. What does run are Java applications, and they are executed by the Java virtual machine. Unless Java is started by an external command such as java ......, then it doesn't use cpu time.
Most probably there is something in the server that is starting a Java application as a disconnected service, or daemon.
After a reboot, before running anything, is this happening? If so, then probably something is doing an automatic start of some Java program.
Do some sleuthing around and figure what's being started, and when.
