[QUOTE="Anil_robo, post: 256264, member: 19045"] I am using MacFreePops to retrieve my emails from my two yahoo accounts on Apple mail. The program has a quirky nature of hogging the CPU when I close the lid and open it again. The daemon "freepopsd" hogs the CPU and memory. Whenever it happens, I use the killall command to terminate it and restart it. However, it has become resistant now. See this screenie: [URL=http://img169.imageshack.us/my.php?image=freepopsdrm9.png][IMG]http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/7770/freepopsdrm9.th.png[/IMG][/URL] I am unable to kill this program by kill or killall, even as a superuser (sudo). I don't want to restart or relogin everytime... is there a way to terminate this nasty little program? [/QUOTE]
