[users@httpd] Strange apache (1.3.X) load
Hi,
I have a small server (Redhat based, latest apache rpm
apache-1.3.27-2.7.2) that has been sufering from a
strange load.
Mostly during the mornings but also in other periods
of the day the load goes up to 90 (info from the top
command).
When this happens and I am logged I can killall -9
httpd and everything goes back to normal, so I am
pretty sure that apache has something to do with it :)
Since I host almost a hundred low volume virtual
servers I could not find (via extended-status or log)
which one is causing this but seems to me that a
runaway script (I host php sites) may be causing this.
So :
- is there any extra test I should do ? or perhaps
tool I should use in order to detect which page is
causing this behaviour ?
best regards.
