100% CPU by getty
I have a problem with my Linode (details below) on which I run one Rails app (with mongodb).
I have getty process which takes 100% CPU.
top
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
31509 root 20 0 12800 1916 1756 R 98.8 0.1 17:01.87 getty
When I kill it, it appears again.
When I run
strace -f -p PID
then I get loop of
read(0, "", 1) = 0
read(0, "", 1) = 0
read(0, "", 1) = 0
read(0, "", 1) = 0
I've checked my logs if Linode was compromised but in logs is only me as root or deployer.
Any ideas what it could be, how to solve it?
Thank you in advance!
