hi
we have a didicated server and some times our server is very very slow due high cpu load:

intel dual xeon 3
ram 1 gig
linux rh 9


is there any monitoring program that help me to find which program or which domain is doing this . i need a program that log everythingss.
thanks

mytop shows mysql usage, top every program usage, SIM monitoring all services and restart it if it down.

Try to check your mail queue. Possible that people are sending major spam. Happened to me insecure scripts. :(

You can also use ' pstree -apG ' command to check what processors are currently running in your server.

could always ditch rh9 and go with something more supported
for updates an such

If your using Linux 3, I think problem is: http://secunia.com/advisories/12784/

run the command top and see what processes are at the top and the load

you could also do a " ps -ef " command which will show all the processes running then copy and paste them here....
