Grunt Server causes excessive processor heating on Mac OSX Mavericks about grunt-cli HOT 4 CLOSED

Grunt doesn't have a server built into the cli. Which server task are you using? Would you mind posting your Gruntfile as well? Thanks!

Looks like you're using the connect task for a server. I recommend reducing what your server is doing to try and find the source the issue. On its own, the connect task shouldn't consume much but can depending on what you have configured the server to do.

Also check to make sure you're not watching more files than you need to watch. Sometimes a wild pattern can match all the files in your node_modules folder. In general the template that Yeoman produces is very bloated. I recommend reducing your Gruntfile to only the parts you actually need and simplifying.

Closing as this isn't an issue for grunt-cli.

I have a watch setup on the app directory, that does not have the node_modules directory.
yeoman: {
// configurable paths
app: require('./bower.json').appPath || 'app',
dist: 'dist'
},
styles: {
files: ['<%= yeoman.app %>/styles/{,/}.css'],
tasks: ['copy:styles', 'autoprefixer']
},
livereload: {
options: {
livereload: '<%= connect.options.livereload %>'
},
files: [
'<%= yeoman.app %>/{,/}.html',
'.tmp/styles/{,/}.css',
'{.tmp,<%= yeoman.app %>}/scripts/{,/}.js',
'<%= yeoman.app %>/images/{,/}.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp,svg}'
]
}
i run the default server 'grunt server' which means its not building and running from the dist directory.
