I was also looking at this post:
https://community.wd.com/t/runaway-mediacrawler-the-ultimate-solution/58817
I changed the focus from mediacrawler to communicationmanager and found this:
MyBookLive:/usr/local/orion/communicationmanager# ls -all
total 256
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 May 7 2015 .
drwxrwxr-x 5 root root 4096 May 7 2015 …
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 3279 Oct 14 2014 comm_mgr_wd.sh
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 232975 Apr 16 2015 communicationmanager
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 11806 Dec 4 2014 communicationmanagerd
MyBookLive:/usr/local/orion/communicationmanager#
Would his solution:
(We want to change this file so that nobody can execute it! We want to turn those x’s into dashes.)
current permissions: rwx rwx r-x = 111 101 101 = 755
desired permissions: rw- r-- r-- = 110 100 100 = 644
would this achieve the desired result of preventing communicationmanager from running without obviously breaking anything else?
