High CPU and load averages on FreeBSD box

[LuckyTaxi]

Running Freebsd 4.8 on our webserver. Just noticed the following on phpsysinfo.

Load Averages 21.28 21.55 21.32

I SSH into the box and it seems "make" is running?! WTF?! It looks like the owner is root.
I checked to see if I had any cronjobs, but nope, nothing out of the ordinary. Box doesnt start its backup process until 1:30AM, but make shouldn't be running! Anyway I can tell what exactly is going on with the box?

ps -auxww | grep make

Maybe that will give you a clue. Unless it just says make, and then that won't help much, except possibly give you a time when it started...

A whole bunch of stuff and here's a part of it. Too many to list.

root 45523 0.0 0.1 476 344 ?? S 11:49PM 0:00.01 make portinfo=${PKGNAME}|${.CURDIR}|${PREFIX}|${COMMENT}|${DESCR}|${MAINTAINER}|${CATEGORIES}|${FETCH_DEPENDS}|${BUILD_DEPENDS}|${LIB_DEPENDS}|${RUN_DEPENDS}|${DEPENDS} -V portinfo
root 45541 0.0 0.1 492 348 ?? S 11:49PM 0:00.01 make -V CONFIGURE_ARGS

BTW ... see this process? I have others, since May/April!!!!

root 59549 0.0 0.1 628 252 ?? Is 8Jun04 0:00.00 /bin/sh -c /root/scripts/update_ports.sh
root 59551 0.0 0.1 628 252 ?? I 8Jun04 0:00.00 /bin/sh /root/scripts/update_ports.sh

It started on June 8th. That's a cron job that updates my ports. Why it is still being run?

No clue why it would still be running. That's a long time though.
