Roughly every day or two I login to box3 and check things out and check for package updates. With rare exception the system is quiet, I check for updates, apply any found, and move on. But today I find this (from ps auwx)

As you can see this has used 1000+ minutes of CPU time (which is less than the actual running time). I've not seen this before on the server. Is it perhaps the result of a new build project and expected? Or an actual problem? Out of caution and since the system is already busy I haven't checked for package updates yet today (I think the last time I did so was Friday).

It's probably a process that's brought up a debugger. I'd really like to adjust the UIManager to do things like dump stack traces to console, and kill processes in the event of failed tests. I'm happy for anyone to kill these kinds of jobs. I don't always notice them.

OK, can you give some guidance as to how long is too long for the build processes? Does it vary much based on the job?
