There is a bug in v5.0.4 Two issues: The cmdbsvr process dies and restarts with excessive CPU usage. I have to kill it with: diag sys kill 11 <pid> where pid is the number of the process when you do a diag sys top command example: diag sys top Run Time: 32 days, 0 hours and 47 minutes 2U, 78S, 20I; 3959T, 1525F, 253KF cmdbsvr 2418 R 93.6 0.5 ipsengine 74 S < 53.8 2.5 ipsengine 75 S < 28.2 2.6 hatalk 2427 S < 25.9 0.2 ipsengine 84 S < 18.6 2.6 miglogd 47 R 16.4 0.4 newcli 6749 R 14.4 0.3 ipsengine 83 S < 12.7 2.6 ipsengine 68 S < 6.1 2.6 proxyworker 58 S 5.4 2.0 urlfilter 82 S 5.4 0.5 stpd 117 S 3.4 0.2 ipsengine 2874 S < 2.9 2.5 snmpd 92 S 2.1 0.2 proxyworker 65 S 1.3 1.1 reportd 90 S 1.3 0.5 forticron 80 S 1.3 0.3 hasync 2428 S < 1.1 0.3 sshd 6747 S 1.1 0.3 proxyacceptor 57 S 0.9 0.0 the PID is 2418 so to kill the process with signall 11 (restart) the command is diag sys kill 11 2418 The second issue that was found by the engineers, is that the ipsengine is reading a file incorrectly and can cause high CPU usage. I don' t usually kill this process as the cpu usage tends to go back down by itself. Rick

Ended up having to rollback our firewalls to patch 5.0.3 because of the CPU bug.

Can you confirm if the firmware version 5 patch 3 is fine.
