[App_rpt-users] rc.updatenodelist

Well my server is located in Dallas Texas and is owned by Linode.. I have
two dedicated static ipv4 addresses and several ipv6 addresses for other
projects going on with the system.. I will attach MTR reports listed below
for each node.. And the question was brought up was their more that one pid
yes their were several thousand pids processes of the node updater started
off looking like /bin/bash/ /usr/local/bin/rc.updatenodelist
Each one of those lines look like the above line but with a different pid
before my script I was eating up around 4500mb or ram including swap..
After fixing the issue I was only eating up around 900mb of ram..
