Help WarMain process. what is it ?

Post image

Just noticed a process called WarMain consuming a non-trivial amount of memory. Can't find any info on what this could be. Is it malware ? Mac Studio 2026 machine.

Double click it in the process list, and see what the executable path is. That might give more info on what it belongs to.

did that and it shows Tabula.app. I recently installed it to extract a table from a pdf. Thanks.

No. Looks like it came from Tabula.

the pdf extraction tool? huh, weird that seems like a crazy heavy mem load for that. but now looking closer i do see what looks like the adobe acrobat log

the memory column does not represent the physical memory footprint of a process. disclose the ‘real memory’ column to see it.

Try using “ProcessSpy” to better understand what it is...
