I think there may be hackers attack on the server

[Aushosts]

restart mysql:
/etc/init.d/mysql restart

[ReD_Dr@GoN]

the same problem

[Aushosts]

reboot

[ReD_Dr@GoN]

we have rebooted it ,it just worked fine only for 10 minutes and the problem appeared again

[C.P]

I'm having the same problem. It started yesterday. I'm with ServerMatrix. It goes as high as 40 and above and stay like that for hours. Started in the afternoon and dies down late at night when evening starts. It's two days in a row now and this have never happened to me before.

[ReD_Dr@GoN]

I am with Server Matrix too ??!!

[C.P]

Holy cow... and I thought I'm the only one. I'm have to notify this with support at ServerMatrix.

[ReD_Dr@GoN]

Oh at the same time
I think there is something wrong with Server Matrix???

[C.P]

I wonder if there are others at ServerMatrix having the same problem too but don't report it?

[ReD_Dr@GoN]

Ummmmm what we gonna do now?
I opened a ticket with no reply till now

[C.P]

I got a reply. The tech guy said he will look into it tomorrow. I also posted this info at the ServerMatrix forum to see if anyone else has the same problem.
