[wplug] periodic writing to disk

[Zach]

I had a similar problem, look in your cron dirctories, I had a
tripwire type program running every X seconds and when I did top it
wouldn't show up but I found it by looking through cron and running
"ps auxw|grep foo" in a while loop then sure enough I caught it and
after I removed it no more problems.
