Bash and Sudo forking continuously, hidden fork bomb?
I am experiencing a frustrating problem where my bash and sudo programs seem to be replicating thousands of processes on Mac. I have searched for all kinds of ways to stop them. I don't know what to do. I have restarted the computer. They self replicate after: pkill -f bash
I don't want to have a looped kill script battling this ongoing. I just want it to stop. Thank you so much.
The only thing I can think that I did was try to run openvpn accidentally on the wrong file type. It then gave me, fork: resource temporarily unavailable.
bash sudo fork
