Today I have noticed a wierd behavior on my n800 with os2008. A process called enprocess is just causing the cpu to max out and does not self terminate. I have osso status bar installed and was able to tell when the process is running, identify that it us using phenominal a mounts of cpu speed and kill it. Anyone know what enprocess is?

Thanks in advance.

It's a sub-process for the email client.

Okay great, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Problem is that once enprocess is killed and I can start mail, but that starts enprocess runs at 100+% of the cpu and does not do anything.

Any ideas?

I would like to remove or reinstall the mail program. Red pill mode?

Any help appreciated.

update: SSH'd into the n800 found enprocess in usr/bin/ and renamed it to bakenprocess. I use modest or claws so it should be okay. Unless they also use enprocess for some strange reason.

enprocess seems to be the part of the (built-in) email client that communicates over socket to your mail server. It will hang sometimes when it happens to be updating when your internet connnection is disconnected. I've never seen it loop at 100% CPU, I'm not certain what could cause that (it's much more likely that such a process will hang). It sounds like there may be some problem with your networking, at least as seen from the enprocess' point of view.

If you use modest or claws-mail you can safely disable enprocess the way you have done.
