trackerd deamon taking up 50% of processor

how do i disable trackerd deamon, i dont really care for creating indices for searching...because i dont search...

i have removed the entry from sessions in system>preferences

but i still see trackerd in my processes list, consuming 50% of processor...

how do i disable it for good?

no

Code:

[root@localhost amarok-2.0.90-build]#
anywhere else to look?

Hello:
It's probably just indexing (from a quick search of the application ).
I'm not that familiar with it, however, you can try, from a terminal ....

Open a terminal and type and enter
top
then open another terminal and type and enter
pkill trackerd
(check the terminal that has top running to confirm the shutdown)
If you installed the application using yum, then

yum remove tracker

and you should be good to go
