When you click on the "i" icon you’ll see the parent process and the owner. Click on the parent process and you’ll see the parent of that along with the owner.Right now I’m running "top" in a terminal session. The parent is Bash and he user is root. The parent of Bash is login and the user is mnewman (me). The parent of login is Terminal and the user is root. The parent of Terminal is launchd and the user is mnewman.You have to dig a bit but eventually you may find who or what initiated the process you’re interested in.Sent from my iPad using Mac-Forums</blockquote>
