[EHPweb] ppicker on eids servers.

[David Oppenheimer]

It is the NetQuakes  acquisition software. It is located in
~ppicker/bin/nqs. There are several components to the acquisition system, so
if you can provide more information about what is using the most CPU we can
determine if something is awry.

 

The NQ software waits for NetQuakes dataloggers to check in on an hourly
basis with State-of-health information, upload earthquake data when the
instrument triggers, and upload log files. It shouldn't have any load on the
machine, other to check whether a file is there or a datalogger is
attempting to connect.  The NetQuakes dataloggers live on the Internet, so
the server needs to be on a public facing machine.

All, 

Can anyone tell me what nqs is and why it is running on the eids servers.
It seems to be using approx 99% cpu consistantly.
