Processor usage at 9.50

[rghigliazza]

Hi, i dont know why, but since the last update, my DUAL piii server shows in WHM more than 5.00 processor ussage all the time, and everything works bad...

Also, i have more than 259 processes, and another 250 sleepping..

any ideas?

Login to SSH and type top. That will give you some idea of what's going on.

top

there are only lots of http process and cppop processes...

Looks like your just have a lot of active customers .. you might want to check your system cpu % in top

I would analyze your domlog sizes for clues as to which sites are hitting extra hard recently though that is not always a direct corollation- keep close tabs on bandwidth usage within WHmanager, and bandmin may help reveal some more.

Obviously a netstat will tell you which IPs are being requested the most via port 80, if there are some uniquely bound apache sites that are turning monstrous.

i found the problem is CPPOP

The problem is CPPOP, if i filter out the 110 port on the firewall, everything backs to normal.

Anyway, it appears, that the CPPOP deamon is takin too much resources, than in other servers.

Thats usually due to a user having a VERY large mail spool and checking it all the time...
