Maybe because the process is already gone :-?

Can you still see it under htop/top?
Rebooted, new PIDs, apcupsd on htop has 2: 2594 and 2550 but ps only
shows 2550 and /proc/2550 exists, 2594 does not.

I don't think it is a rootkit because I get this on any system that I
run apcupsd on, even new installs, and rkhunter shows nothing.

Where does htop get that PID?

I will ask on the apcupsd mailing list.

You can also make use of the switches of "htop" like "s" to strace the misterious process :-?


Yes, "s" traces and all kinds of stuff comes across so that PID that ps knows nothing about certainly is alive...
