Xymon isn't running the rpm process...xymon is alerting you to the fact
that your CPU is pegged, and that the rpm process appears to be at the top
of the CPU hogging process list.

You'll want to look in your crontabs, your cron.d and cron.daily jobs,
etc, to determine just what is calling rpm and why.
