Sometimes I notice the server is running slowly and at those times a ps -e
shows that logger
and tee
are running but I can't think of why. Is this a known issue? Why would these need to run without being called? When this happens there are very few systems running, but there is some connection to running Chromium maybe but I am not sure.
Use
pstree -s <PID>
to find out what a process's parents are.For example:
If the process was started by a running service, then
systemctl status <PID>
will show the corresponding service.
