Bug 29916735

On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15, after upgrading Oracle Grid Infrastructure to 19.4 GIRU, CPU usage increases when you run OSWatcher.

Workaround:

Perform the following steps:

1. Enter the following command to stop OSWatcher from Oracle Trace File Analyzer (Oracle TFA):

   $ grid_home/bin/tfactl stop  oswbb to stop

2. Add disown -a to the main loop inside OSWatcher.sh.
3. Set ulimit to a sufficiently low value for the user running OSWatcher. 

This issue is fixed in OSWatcher 8.3.1.
