On my VPS there's a process running that is consistently fluctuating between 80 and 100% cpu usage.
It's the command rpm; -v kernel, which is a child process of /usr/bin/abrtd. Below i copy and pasted the process tree from htop.
When I reboot the VPS the process gets re executed by something. As you can tell, I'm not a linux guru. I'm just not sure whats executing it and how to stop / fix it.
Hoping someone w/ more knowledge of linux can explain whats going on
Code

I think that it may have something to do with my repos / yum? idk
