[TriLUG] mhonarc

[Brian Bell]

Have you checked for a cronjob for MHonArc?   If you kill it but it 
keeps coming back there has to be some process restarting it.  Seems to 
make sense that it would either be another program or something like a 
cron job.

Came across this post on a Google search - this guy apparently had some 
performance trouble with MHonArc on his laptop:
--snip--
    Unresolved issues:
        Had a major performance problem with 'mhonarc' routine which 
converts mail to html enmass. Rename the routine by executing:
        mv /usr/bin/mhonarc /usr/bin/mhonarc.orig  
        in a terminal window to stop the routine from running 
before opening the Mail function.
--end_snip--

You *could* do that, but its just renaming the executable to something 
else so that whatever is calling it cant call it anymore.. It's not 
really getting to the root of the problem obviously.


another post I found made reference to uninstalling 'kat' - see more 
here: http://mandrivausers.org/lofiversion/index.php?t28709.html
--snip--
I wouldn't worry about the high cpu load - I have also deinstalled kat 
on my machine - the related high loads were from kded and mhonarc, but 
kat caused those to do whatever they were doing.
--end_snip--

Good luck,
Brian
