This looks like the report from some process monitor. It was triggered because the length of time exceeded the threshold: 461956 > 1800.

HAL is the Hardware Abstraction Layer. I believe the hald-addon-keyboard means that this is the process listening to the keyboard for key presses.

I don't think this is a problem, this is some sort of exemption you need to add into your monitoring software, since it is a legit process to be running in the background.

Thanks - how can I find out what the monitoring software is that's being used? –  GeoffreyF67 Sep 30 '09 at 16:21
