Subject: Does gam_server have to run?
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2015 15:49:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <155DEC68569B714B86C2C7075F5EDA98C1FC8B66@DAKIYA1.pegasus.local> (raw)
All,
On my last cygwin update I noticed that I have /usr/libexec/gam_server.exe running.
I learned this because the install script could not kill it (and neither could I!).
It was using about 1 sec/sec of CPU.
With a little investigation I learned that
it's part of GNOME's "file alternation monitoring".
I'm willing to believe that I've installed /something/ of GNOME or that uses GNOME,
but I do /not/ want the GNOME ecosystem creeping into my world.
Can anyone help me understand how to stop it from running?
Alternatively, can someone help me understand how to find dependencies within CYGWIN?
Thanks.

I once worked in a can recycling facility. It was soda pressing.
