Hey all. I ssh'd into my server today and noticed
that my cpu was pegged at 100% for some reason.
Looking at 'top' and 'ps ax' it says that up2date
has been using almost all my cpu for over a month
now (50785 minutes = 35 days!)

Various outputs are as follows:

top:
  PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU
%MEM TIME COMMAND
22991 root 25 0 5380 1568 1504 R 98.9
1.2 50789m up2date

ps ax:
  PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
22991 ? R 50786:19 /usr/bin/python -u
/usr/sbin/up2date

I've tried 'kill 22991', 'killall up2date', and
'killall python' all several times, but it just
won't die. Aside from rebooting, is there anything
I can do here?

Thanks,
Justin
