Hi guys, I have a server that till last night had been up for 85 days without a problem.
Last night I downloaded and installed the glibc and kernel updates for the box. (then I ran MandrakeUpdate and installed all the other packages that came up) (I had already updated ssl,ssh and apache) today, it bogs down after about an hour of operation.. its running the following: Samba cups postfix apache iptables pppoe Here is a report from TOP when I ran a cgi script (a simple one that just prints out html, no processing) like I said, yesterday, before the updates, the box was flawless... quiet zippy... even top shouldn't be using 30+ percent of the CPU... This thing has 160mb ram, and top indicates that its not a ram issue. the CPU is a 233MMX, which as I mentioned, was perfectly adequate prior to the kernel/glibc updates. (I installed the kernel, not updated.) There seems to be something strange going on with perl or something that is causing it to use far more resources then it should be.... Does anyone know what the prob is and what I could try to fix it??? 11:51pm up 5:02, 3 users, load average: 1.85, 1.89, 1.18 CPU states: 76.7% user, 23.2% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle Mem: 159056K av, 154108K used, 4948K free, 0K shrd, 48200K buff Swap: 401584K av, 0K used, 401584K free 67492K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 4280 apache 14 0 1744 1744 1216 R 60.2 1.0 0:23 index.cgi 4277 root 16 0 1044 1044 812 R 30.2 0.6 0:51 top 4130 root 10 0 1824 1824 1528 S 5.3 1.1 1:49 sshd 1698 postfix 9 0 1356 1356 1076 S 1.7 0.8 0:17 tlsmgr 1460 root 9 0 2892 2888 1200 S 1.1 1.8 0:53 cupsd 7 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.9 0.0 0:37 kupdated 14 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.2 0.0 0:07 kjournald 3352 root 9 0 480 480 416 S 0.2 0.3 1:19 pppoe 1350 root 9 0 1900 1900 1716 S 0.1 1.1 0:04 ntpd 3351 root 9 0 836 836 692 S 0.1 0.5 0:05 pppd 1 root 9 0 504 504 440 S 0.0 0.3 0:05 init 2 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 keventd 3 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 kapmd 4 root 19 19 0 0 0 SWN 0.0 0.0 0:00 ksoftirqd_CPU0 5 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:03 kswapd 6 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 bdflush 8 root -1 -20 0 0 0 SW< 0.0 0.0 0:00 mdrecoveryd 219 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 kjournald 222 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 kreiserfsd 1243 root 9 0 596 596 476 S 0.0 0.3 0:05 syslogd 1252 root 9 0 1144 1144 428 S 0.0 0.7 0:00 klogd 1378 root 9 0 1308 1308 1172 S 0.0 0.8 0:00 sshd 1405 root 9 0 1140 1136 900 S 0.0 0.7 0:02 xinetd 1687 root 9 0 1220 1220 948 S 0.0 0.7 0:05 master 1697 postfix 9 0 1644 1644 1292 S 0.0 1.0 0:48 qmgr 1714 root 9 0 472 472 408 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 gpm 1944 root 9 0 776 772 636 S 0.0 0.4 0:01 crond 1969 xfs 9 0 4028 4028 1100 S 0.0 2.5 0:01 xfs 1997 root 9 0 1760 1760 1564 S 0.0 1.1 0:00 smbd 2008 root 9 0 1720 1720 1552 S 0.0 1.0 0:14 nmbd 2012 root 9 0 1416 1416 1312 S 0.0 0.8 0:00 nmbd 2073 root 9 0 992 992 804 S 0.0 0.6 0:00 adsl-connect 2083 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 eth1 2402 root 9 0 1152 1148 892 S 0.0 0.7 0:00 login 2403 root 9 0 1328 1324 1036 S 0.0 0.8 0:00 login 2404 root 9 0 408 408 348 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 mingetty 2405 root 9 0 408 408 348 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 mingetty 2406 root 9 0 408 408 348 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 mingetty 2407 root 9 0 408 408 348 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 mingetty 2684 root 8 0 1616 1612 1088 S 0.0 1.0 0:00 bash 2716 franki 8 0 1556 1552 1080 S 0.0 0.9 0:00 bash 2952 root 9 0 2688 2688 2200 S 0.0 1.6 0:10 smbd
