Hello,
I'm a casual emacs user, and I'm puzzled by this:
Yesterday, I noticed that the hard drive was churning away on my idle laptop, even though I wasn't doing anything.
I figured it was just a cron job or something, but for laughs and giggles, I opened an xterm and ran "top".
And at the top of top, I see emacs22 as the top process.
I had no emacs sessions open, and wasn't even using the system.
Any ideas why I would see emacs22 in there or where I should look to find out what might have triggered this?
This is Ubuntu (Xubuntu Hardy).
Thanks,
DW
