Issue:
I have almost a 100 odd instances of the below process on my DevTest server. These are running at 100% CPU. Killing the PIDs just causes more processes to spawn up. Can you tell me how to fix this?
ps -eo pid,args | grep ANDROID_HOME
6233 /bin/bash -i -c echo $ANDROID_HOME
Environment:
All supported DevTest Windows, UNIX and Linux platforms
Cause:
The Simulator is spawning off extra ANDROID_HOME processes when the Simulator is started regardless if you are doing Mobile testing or not.
Resolution:
1. Stop your Simulator.
2. You will have to kill all of the ANDROID_HOME processes.
3. Update the local.properties file and add this property:
ANDROID_HOME=""
4. Start the Simulator.
5. The extra ANDROID_HOME processes will not be started.
