Actually, I was asking those questions hoping to narrow down what was happening.
To find out which process is using the most CPU time, run `top`. (To quit, press 'q'.) Once you get its process id (pid), run `ps -AH` to see if its dependent on anything.
On the other hand, if it's running because it was forgotten, I would look at the power management processes.
