[BlueOnyx:18162] Dfix grep processes

[Robert Fitzpatrick]

I still have a 5106R up and lately it has been experiencing an issue 
with lots of grep processes like below building up and causing load 
issues....

[root at webtent server_backup]# ps ax | grep grep
  6013 ?        R      1:45 grep -vf /tmp/dfix-badip-5065.txt
  6944 ?        R      1:23 grep -vf /tmp/dfix-badip-6156.txt
  7739 ?        R      1:03 grep -vf /tmp/dfix-badip-6949.txt
  8534 ?        R      0:47 grep -vf /tmp/dfix-badip-7745.txt
  9351 ?        R      0:34 grep -vf /tmp/dfix-badip-8541.txt
10204 ?        R      0:24 grep -vf /tmp/dfix-badip-9360.txt
11030 ?        R      0:17 grep -vf /tmp/dfix-badip-10222.txt
11851 ?        R      0:11 grep -vf /tmp/dfix-badip-11049.txt
12758 ?        R      0:03 grep -vf /tmp/dfix-badip-11955.txt

Has anyone seen this issue? The only way I can get the server back to 
normal load is killall grep.

Thanks,
Robert
