Unknown program stops input
Recently I've found that some program is running
on my Fedora-23/KDE laptop and (presumably) taking 100$ of the CPU,
so that no keyboard or mouse input is possible.
I see that there is constant hard drive usage.
The "outage" only lasts 20 seconds or so,
so it is not a serious problem.
It usually happens just after logging in,
but occasionally it happens later.
Is there any way of seeing what the program is,
since obviously I cannot run anything like "top"?
