Does anyone know of any good server resource monitoring scripts that can pinpoint what users are abusing resources (and send an email to the server admin), or any scripts that can help regarding spamers (tracking what accounts sent email, what scripts it's being sent through). I ran across what seemed to be a very comprehensive product (Around $100) that would do this, but I cannot recall the name of it.

The only true way to be able to do this is by using phpsuexec and having a script monitor it.

Can you explain how this can be done using phpsuexec with details?

BTW you have helped me in the past with mysql and other issues and ur advice worked out great.

with phpsuexec users will run php scripts under their own user id... and it will show up in logs. you just monitor the log file and catch the email senders..

We have our own custom scripts that we use to do this with..

Can you help us with how to get phpsuxec running and how to monitor offending php scripts?

And how to catch offending cgi/perl scripts?
