bash process uses 90% CPU, comes back on computer restart
- by Sano
I’ve replaced the old HDD of my late 2008 unibody MacBook (8 GB of RAM, running OS X 10.7.4) with an OCZ Vertex 3 SSD. After doing this, I've installed Lion and restored my data from a Time Machine backup.
Everything is fine, except for a process named “bash” that permanently uses about 90 % CPU.
If I kill it via Activity Monitor, everything goes back to normal, but unfortunately the process comes back every time I restart the computer.
I've tried do zap the PRAM, reinstall 10.7.4 from the combo package, and even simply wait for more than 2 hours, but the problem is still here.
