All,  

We are reviewing processes on our P690 machine and get the following.

I've googled a little bit but can't find anything of interest. Are these processes that I should be concerned with - should we kill them? A normal ps -ef | grep 45078 does not return the process, so I really can't figure out what these are.  

Thanks

Tom
