    Hello, I'm guessing the messages are from CSF/LFD? That product is designed to alert you to odd processes that are running. Each run from the above looks like it is only running for 29 seconds. If you don't want to see those alerts, you can add them to the /etc/csf/csf.pignore file. Looking at your script, I don't see anything strange that would be causing problems. I think it is just csf/lfd (if that's what you're running) reporting that it detected a strange program/user (testuser) and is alerting you to that fact.

    Hello, No it is not normal. The load average alone is something to be concerned about. You should investigate this thouroughly or have your system administrator investigate this. If you don't have a sysadmin, you can find one by going here.
