server freezing (almost nightly)
server running cpanelOne of my servers is constently freezing on a nightly basis, and during the day and night, loads are anywhere from .5 to 1.0 during non peak and 5-6 during peak times
The high loads at night are from the backup script running, which i have cut from every night to run every other night
We have been running some scripts that take out the amount of hits in terms of page views...script calls...hits from the domlogs and have found some customers that might of been causing some issues, going off our stats, i figured any sites getting over 3,000 page views in 24 hours would be deemed high resource and would be moved to another server.
Does anyone else got any other tricks up their sleeves to try find what scripts / processes I can find out, what i can do to apache (apache seems to always use up quite a few resources)
How about suexec? I installed it last week but we got a flood of support requests that it broke their scripts and frontpage, so rather then messing with a few hundred customers, we removed suexec for another day
Exim seems to be a high hitter as well in top
Anyway regards and hope someone can help, i have been having many many sleepness nights having to call the NOC to reboot the server
