I've got a server that crashes everyday at about the same time (mid-afternoon) and I detailed the problem on this thread. http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=38903

While running top last night I found a new command I haven't seen before called "admeng" and found it in /home/chiliasp/admin/bin/admeng and this morning it is still going! Results:

Is it normal for admeng to be using so much CPU? And does anyone know how long this will run?

admeng had being running for 376 hours! It is like idling on the server, sucking every resource it can take.

Ack! How do I turn it off, and what happens if I do turn it off? Will my PHP scripts stop working? Aren't ASP and PHP closely related?

Ack!!! :bawling:

Kill it.

Do:

kill -9 [pid number]

I turned off ASP in my admin file and it went away:
