Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me why so many processes are started on my system? Here is a list of them. I am trying to figure out why they are running and if I can stop them. Thnx.

I have a server holding a 2.5-4.0 load level consistently, where should I start debugging it? top - 13:32:01 up 167 days, 5:45, 6 users, load average: 2.87, 1.83, 1.51 Tasks: 111 total, 1 running, 110 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.0% us, 0.0% sy, 0.2% ni, 99.8% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 895728k total, 871996k used, 23732k free, 190612k buffers Swap:

Package: xen-utils-4.0 Version: 4.0.1-2 Severity: normal This issue is similar to http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-xen-devel/2011-March/003217.html but since I was not able to find a bug report I'm reporting this now.

I created a custom fact that determines what class of server it is based off the first 3 letters of the hostname: tst, qa, stg, prd, dev.... The fact tested fine and shows in the list when running "facter -p". I wanted to use the fact in a class to determine if zabbix-agent should be removed or installed. I want to remove from servers that currently have zabbix installed in groups

I'm seeing some strange results from top on CentOS 4.0. When it first starts, it reports low CPU usage. The next refresh (and subsequent) refreshes, it shows high CPU usage. In both cases, there is nothing shown in the process list that is using much CPU. What is causing this? Here is some truncated output from a single run of "top -b -n 2":

It looks like my CentOS 4.2 box is attacking other people with some type of ftp attack. I got an email from somebody saying they were being attacked by my IP address. Further investigation /var/log/messages shows a whole bunch of sshd attacks on me, none of which appear successful. I'm running ethereal right now and I can see that my system is doing some kind of ftp attacks on others.

Hi All, I''ve got a DomU that sometimes goes mad. I can''t ssh or usually even console to it. The time I did manage to console I got a load of dumps about being out of memory and swap, but couldn''t run any commands to find out which process had gone mad :( From Dom0 I can see the DomU at 100% CPU and can only stop it with a destroy. What can I do/check to find

We have 1 server that after a few hours operating has multiple process of asterisk running. Here is the pstree output: # pstree init-+-atftpd |-auditd---{auditd} |-bash---safe_opserver---op_server.pl |-crond |-cwASTcall.pl |-dbus-daemon |-events/0 |-hald-+-hald-addon-acpi | `-2*[hald-addon-stor] |-httpd---3*[httpd] |-khelper |-klogd

List, The past few days the asterisk service on my server has crashed several times. I have had it running for months and have made no changes to it. When it crashes, I am unable to make calls or gain access to the CLI. The service has been stopped. If I try to start it again (service asterisk start), it will start and run for a few seconds then crash again. After a reboot, it will run

Over the past few months, I have seen many postings here about runaway smbd processes with Samba versions 3.0.20 and above. Personally, it never happened to me until today. Also, I have stuck with Samba 3.0.13 on most of my machines because of THIS reported issue and a couple of other issues that I have experienced. However, I have a machine running RIGHT NOW where smbd has gone out of

Hi, We have a serious issue running on our POP/IMAP servers these days. The load average of a servers spikes up to 400-500 as a uptime command result, for a particular time period , to be specific mostly in noon time and evening, but it last for few minutes only. We have 2 servers running dovecot 1.1.20 , in loadbanlancer, We have used KEEPLIVE (1.1.13) for loadbalacing. Server

Hello, The issue of dovecot becoming unresponsive happened again but after several weeks instead of just one as before. As advised before I tried to login through the IMAP port. Entering an incorrect password gets rejected right away. Entering a correct password just hangs indefinitely. Attached are a file with the IMAPS exchange and corresponding lines in logs and another file with the

I'm upgrading my primary server from RH 7.2 to CentOS-4.3.ServerCD. I REALLY like the ServerCD. Who needs all the fluff that comes with a standard distro? If I want a system-config-gooey I can run Xnest [1] and ssh -X from my laptop. Anyway I have two questions: 1) How can I collectively stop all the NFS, portmap, whatever? I'm hoping it can be manipulated as a group because occationally
