Crazy TAR !! it won't stop .. sending me Crazy

Hi there

I woke up today to find 2 emails from cpanel warning me about constant high cpu usage for some 7 hours!

When I checked "top" I found a tar command which had been running for 400+ minutes.

When I traced it I got this: write(4, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 10240) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe)
--- SIGPIPE (Broken pipe) ---

So I killed it thinking that the problem will go away Crazy TAR !! it won't stop .. sending me Crazy

It was not long befor I discovered that another Tar command is doing the same thing.

Since then I have been kiling the ever reuccuring Tar Commands.

Have you an Idea what may be causing that?

Thanks for your help Crazy TAR !! it won't stop .. sending me Crazy
