console-kit

Not sure if this is a problem or not. I stumbled on it while checking something else, but I've never noticed it before and it does seem pretty strange.

While checking htop for another process, I scrolled down and found that I had 60+ listings like this one:

Code: Select all

2098 root      20   0 17836  2824  2036 S  0.0  0.1  0:00.00 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon

They're not taking much in the way of resources, but I'm curious as to why there are so many of them....

This is in Salix 32, fully updated.

These are not processes, they are different threads of the same process. And the resources that are reported on each one of them, are actually the resources used by the whole process (that's why they're all the same anyway). It's not a bug or anything, it's just how consolekit works.
