Who is whoopsie user/command on my system?

if you run:

sudo kill PID

you can kill the process. obviously change PID for the PID of the command, if it doesn't die then use:

sudo kill -9 PID

and it WILL die.

why that user is inside my system?

Can you copy the text you see and paste here as an update

Thanks

seems whoopsie is a user related to crash bug reporting system

here my /etc/passwd with the defined user row...

whoopsie:x:134:134::/nonexistent:/bin/false

Below the result of

ls -la /var/

commmand

drwxrwsrwt 2 root whoopsie 4096 mar 15 20:24 crash

I don't have that user on my system. If you don't need or want the user, I suggest you remove it.
