I understand I might use tee from the command line, but why is this process running, and what is it appending to /dev/null ? And is it a Good Thing?
Hard to say what it is... ps -ef gives the user, process id, and parent process id as the first three columns. Helpful things to know would be: What is the parent of the tee process? What user is running it?
Thanks. I get

hmmmn. Xprt has no manpage.
Sounds like X print server... Unfortunately, I'm not using X or printing on my boxes, so I can't help any further. Anyone else?
