Hello

I suggest opening a support ticket so we can take a look in your server. The following URL can be used to open a support ticket:

Hi

The problem with the server has been solved by itself.
But, what is cpanel --json-fast-connect --stdin ?

Kind Regards

[cPanelMichael]

Long running JSON initiated processes appear in the process table. EX:

22410 ?        D      0:03 /usr/local/cpanel/cpanel --json-fast-connect --stdin

It's likely there is a third-party application installed on your system that uses API to interact with cPanel.

Thank you.

Hi

Can you provide me with some clarifications?
What does this process do?
Is there some documentation?

Thank you
Kind Regards
Oleg Gricik

If the process is still running, you can check the lsof on the process to see what it is doing:

lsof -p PID#

Where PID# is the PID number of the process.

You might also cat the environmental details provided there are any available:

cat /proc/PID#/environ

Again, replace PID# with the PID of the process.

Hi

=)
lsof -p will show me a list of libraries.
In most cases it shows / as the NAME.
Ok,no problem.
This process has disappeared.

Thank you for your updates.

Kind Regards

Sorry for this thread necromancy.

I faced the same issue some days ago. The same process cause a huge IO wait in my server. In my case that process was created when a user tried to move 20 Gbs of data using cpanel' s file manager. I use cloudlinux but unfortunately it doesn' t limit cpanel processes.
