What is Whoopsie @ Linux?



Q: What is Whoopsie? Is this trojan-horse or harmful?

A: WHOOPSIE is an uBuntu Crash Report Mechanism.
It is a Username and a Process name.
No HOME, No Shell, won't be harmful.


Q: How to disable it?

A: I guess sudo to remove/unlink the link whoopsie @ /etc/init.d
and then a reboot will disable it.

Yet, suggest not to remove it,
since it consumes very __little__ CPU/MEM in theory,
nearly no overhead in most server/desktop environment.

Q: I didn't see that at uBuntu 10.04 LTS?

A: True.
Compared to 10.04 LTS,
It seems to be appeared around 12.04 LTS
