Subject: CopyAgent defunct ??
My communication workhorse Eee PC is doing fine. I have been leaving it
up most of the weekend since Friday. It is now reporting something
funny in the process list that Google searches are not shedding light on.

I'm getting spawns of "CopyAgent" building up (see below). I don't know
what is triggering them. The Xandros forums discuss this as being part
of "Windows networks" file sharing but to my knowledge I don't have such
a thing enabled. Nor have I done any file management except at the
command line.

I'm not too worried but am curious about this phenomenon. Does anyone
have any experience to share about a similar occurrence?
