Urgent: Server Load High, No Processes

[YukFoo]

My server load is high but yet when I do

mysqladmin -p processlist

there are no processes going on. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Maybe the server is running some tasks... something like processing the weblogs. Use top to see what is going on. It's not necessary that mysql should cause high server load. Also a cgi script or heavy email activity often cause high loads.
