Hi,

I'm sure it's an old topic, but it's still happened to me at Alfresco 5.0.a - Ubuntu 14.04.
At the same time I could fix the problem and know exactly what process made the CPU spike near 100%.

There are 2 solutions to solve this problem:
1. As explained on [1] by add stop-start script on rc.local file. This is only affects when the system (OS) restarted or start up.
2. By restarting libreoffice service while Alfresco runs. We run command: ./alfresco.sh restart libreoffice

By performing 2 commands above the CPU will not high consumes.

The problem was when we restart Alfresco completely, (./alfresco.sh restart) the CPU will spike near 100%.
I monitoring what is actually script or process made this CPU spike.

I found when CPU is normal, there is only 1 (one) soffice process, as shown below:

root      2739     1  0 11:00 pts/0    00:00:00 /kmapp/alfresco/libreoffice/program/.soffice.bin –nofirststartwizard –nologo –headless –accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager‍

Then, the CPU will raise higher when there is a second soffice after the first process (above):

root      6117  5977 54 12:58 pts/0    00:00:04 /kmapp/alfresco/libreoffice/program/.soffice.bin –accept=socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager -env:UserInstallation=file:///kmapp/alfresco/alf_data/oouser –headless –nocrashreport –nofirststartwizard –nologo –norestore‍

Does anybody know who or what script triggered that second soffice execution?
Or maybe someone has information about this issue (bugs?).

Thank you,

Hey, I'm not sure if you still have this issue but I found a workaround, and posted it to in this thread:
