<div dir="ltr">What system are you running on? I do not have that daemon on my system... Anyway, to deal with unkillable daemons, you usually have to mess with launchd via launchctl, but I am not sure how you would do that for the macports user, seeing as it is a "no login" user as you mentioned...<div>

Hello.<br>
<br>
Sorry if this is a known problem. Been Googling for hours now and searching the archive up to 6-7 months back to no avail.<br>
<br>
I would like to know if someone else has a problem with Macports and the IconServicesAgent process.<br>
<br>
I have a com.apple.IconServicesAgent process running as the macports user (confirmed via Activity Monitor) which takes 100% CPU for one of my core (almost, confirmed via Activity Monitor and the ps command on the terminal) and which I cannot kill. Actually, I cannot force quit it in activity monitor, but I can kill it with the kill command in Terminal, but it comes back right away.<br>
<br>
I have looked everywhere for a solution. I have found that creating a temporary folder where the service can work solved to problem for regular users, but I don’t know how to find the temporary folder for a “no login” user like macports. Anyhow, I might be saying stupid things. My apologies if it’s the case. Not an expert in computers.<br>
<br>
Anyhow, if someone could let me know if it’s a known problem and if there is a solution or if I should just accept that my machine now as one less core.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

P.S. : Sorry for my English. Not my first language.<br>
