      Any ideas?
      This is the system where the 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 upgrade failed. Did option 13 (Update from Console)
      and that got me back, but looks like something may not be right after all?
      Thanks.

        What exactly is that pkg command that's running?

        ps auwwx|grep pkg

          I don't know?  I did not invoke it or installed a new pkg. I simply rebooted and when I checked
          a couple hours later, there it was.

          Just checked my secondary machine (the one that upgraded without issues) and pkg is also consuming the cpu:

            Missed the ps auwwx command and ended killing the process on both machines.
            I rebooted the secondary so I'll wait for it to happen and will get the ps output. Thanks.
