issue with some process taking 100% cpu usage

[remlei]

I tried opnsense for the first time for two weeks now and well, while my 2.5gig intel nic works great, my firewall is now randomly gets some process goes 100% specifically this two process:

- php
- bc

those two process starts ramping up the cpu usage to 100% for no reason at all. I started looking at logs to see maybe somethings up but no. No useful stuff found on the logs. Maybe opnsense is doing something php related so I left it alone for a few days, 4 days later I start checking the process again but damn, that php process is still chugging the cpu 100% and the cpu time already reached 2days worth and seen with top. force terminating the process doesnt seem to harm anything opnsense related, so cool the process is killed now.... after a few days, that damn php and bc pops up again chugging the cpu for the days, this time they ate 4 days worth of cpu time.

I dont know... I just basically uninstalled 23.1 this time and basically downgraded to 22. and the issue is gone...

What's the rest of your hardware?  Was this a fresh install of 23 or an upgrade?  Did you import a config?  Are you using the default settings?

Do a "ps awwux | grep php" and you might see, what this process is doing.
