I'm pretty sure mxt is Glenn's host name... so you won't find it in ps.
Something is starting a process aprox 1/min, or the process runs for aprox 1 min
before it is restarted.
Check /var/log/cron to see if there's something running there.
What's in your /etc/inittab?
Also, try ps -ef to find new processes. You may have to do this more than once.
