Does anyone know why i would have countless #s of sh.exe and cactid.exe with only 4 of the sh.exe processes hanging the cpu of my servers? of the 4 sh.exe each one utlizes 25% of the cpu. attached are the ss. thanks for any ideas pointing me in the right direction.

This would typically be caused by a forked process and it's parent getting out of shape (race condition or a deadlock). What kind of scripts are you running? What version of PHP? What version of Cygwin? What version of Cactid?

install Process Explorer from sysinternals to see the process ownership. That'll help you track back the originating process (and if its a sh.exe at the top, look in the detail of the process to find out the script name being passed).

I think for the version info : php -v (or php -help and work from there)
cygwin: find the cygwin1.dll, right click -> properties -> version
cactid: not sure, but try the same as cygwin
