Comment 2 for bug 1649004

Just a note:

I routinely have to `kill -9` various tracker tasks because they each will use 100% of one of my CPU cores, which threatens to burn out my fan motor as things heat up. I have allowed the tasks to run for more than four hours, once, just to see if they would stop on their own. They do not.

tracker-miner and tracker-extract are the two worst offenders. I don't have any traces or logs from these kills, though, sorry.

It's so bad and so routine, I'm considering writing a shell script to find their PIDs and kill them easily with a single simple command.
