Today my server slowed down greatly. Most resource-consuming are - surprisingly - two shells. Two ZSH processes on TTY 0 (what does that mean?).

Before I kill these, how to find out what are they doing?
strace them, for starters. In a pinch, use a debugger.
what does that mean?
It means that they have no controlling terminal. Given that they are children of XFCE Terminal (right there as /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal in your process tree), you should also look to the terminal emulator sessions on your GUI.

I thought as much but I'm only using Terminator and I closed down ALL it's windows. Additionally, when I didecho $$in them, I got different PIDs. Unless I misunderstand "terminal emulator sessions". Am following up onstracenow, thank you.
