I have been having an issue with my server and the server load getting really high and I have been working through the top processes that are taking up my cpu. I keep seeing the command [watchdog/0], [watchdog/1] and these two tasks are eating up about 30% of my cpu. I have checked my easyapache4 settings and the watchdog module is not even installed! I tried installing it and then uninstalling it but to no effect. Can someone please help me out and point me in the right direction to figure out where these processes are coming from and how to deal with them. Thanks! P.S. I can provide more information if it is needed. I'm new to the forum so I'm not sure what all is needed.
