In Activity Monitor, you can view processes hierarchically and this will tell you who launched each of those processes. In this case I would guess it's a periodic (cron) task for building the Unix "locate" cache, or something along those lines, but that's just a guess.

Hi,
sometimes, and without any apparent reason, my disk runs like crazy.
I launch Terminal, type "top" and I see the following tasks running.

find (76%)
locate.big
locate.cod
sort

After few minutes everything stops.
What's that? Should I worry about that?

Best Regards
