Hi there,
Concerning pip you will need to find out what is calling it.
Normally it is not a daemon process, meaning something else is calling it.
Can you get the following output:
ps aux | grep pip
And then using the lowest PID found:
pstree -a <PID>
You can find the lowest PID using:
ps aux | grep pid | awk '{print $2}' | sort -u
You can also check if there is a cronjob running that is calling pip:
crontab -l | egrep 'pip|python'
From there we can Google ourselves to a solution :-)
Best regards,
E.J.
