Quicklook plugin causes runaway bash processes on High Sierra

Open ast3150 opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

On a regular basis, the CPU activity on my MacBook Pro would spike up, and there would be around 10 bash processes listed in activity monitor, with some of them using up to 100% of CPU resources. Using ps -p <pid> I could finally trace the source of this, and it seems to be the ipaHelper Quicklook plugin. This is in combination with the quicklook not actually displaying someting for IPA files.

I have now uninstalled the ipaHelper files and used killall bash to get rid of the processes, and my CPU usage has gone right down.

I'm writing this less as a bug report but more as an information for other users that might be affected by high CPU usage bash processes. I'm on macOS 10.13.1 High Sierra.

I also encountered the same situation that often occupied the CPU, and I found that the files on my computer were copied, and I found it was ipahelper in copy some works to his folder, and do not know when to start copy, do not know what is doing

建议去到~/Library/Quicklook/删掉插件, 这个插件并不好用,此bug并没有修复
