/var/log/maillog-XXXXXXXX doesn't show anything relevant, but I did found some crontab processes that I forgot to remove months ago (that ran every minute :/). It didn't fix the lag, but it improved some other things. Still laggy because of sendmail. I'll keep looking into it.

See if it is eating up your resources trying to do something; the log can likely identify. Maybe it is stuck in a retreive mail or send mail loop or accessing a server and keeps failing only to try again and again. Your system shouldn't be freezing, especially Fedora 30. | |

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. Renaming the binary solves the issue but I need to find the real culprit... (not bash) | |

I am not too familiar with that daemon. I usually find what I need with top in the terminal, then what I linked at first to determine what all it's coinciding with at that time. Do you have a beefy system, or it is truly slowing down your rig? On a side note, here is a process list I keep in my favorites; sorry I didn't link at first, I had to find it: link.

Thanks. This is the way bash is running the process /usr/bin/bash /usr/sbin/sendmail -FCronDaemon -i -odi -oem -oi -t -f root

Is it a system startup process? You can use pstree -or- ps -H -or- ps aux | grep sendmail -or- ps auxww | grep sendmail Let me play around a bit, see what I can find. You may want something deeper than I am thinking.
