It seems to be fake load, locked up processes. I see a lot of vsftpd processes using ps -x and I cannot kill them. It's very strange. I have several dedicated servers that get hammered all day but I have never seen this before. Even shuting down httpd and mysql does not make any difference, even though they should be the main load. I ahve recently installed MailScanner which usually increases the load tremendously, but I did not see sendmail as the problem, even when I shut down MailScanner, there were no sendmail processes remaining and the load kept climbing. The fact that the server is still responsive is very curious,at 23 it should be very sluggish. -- Chris Mason NetConcepts (264) 497-5670 Fax: (264) 497-8463 Int: (305) 704-7249 Fax: (815)301-9759 Cell: 264-235-5670 Yahoo IM: netconcepts_anguilla at yahoo.com
