What does activitymonitord do?
I frequently see it taking 8% of the CPU or more.
Haha- you are petting Schrödinger's cat. activitymonitord is the privileged executable Activity Monitor triggers to scrape all the data it needs to present in the Cocoa UI. When you close Activity Monitor, it dies. Now you see it:
ps aux|grep activitymonitord root 9631 1.6 0.0 2446604 1448 ?? Ss 2:19PM 0:00.30 /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/activitymonitord agentm 9638 0.0 0.0 2435116 504 s003 R+ 2:19PM 0:00.00 grep activitymonitord
(quit Activity Monitor)- now you don't:
ps aux|grep activitymonitord agentm 9623 0.2 0.0 2435548 312 s003 R+ 2:19PM 0:00.00 grep activitymonitord
