Topic: server slowing down

[sage]

Is there a way to tell howmany people are downloading somthing from a server.  I have noticed that once and a while my server is very slow to respond to my web browser.  I just reboot it and the problem goes away, because I just disconnected all the people downloading files.  So is my computer slow because its out of resources or is it slow because there are lots of people downloading files.

Hi,

you should first try "top" at the root-console.

This will show you, who or what drains your ressources.

After that you can beginn to kick the downloaders out...

Alexander,


   I am also interest in this but I don't understand what you mean "top" at the root-console.

could you explain a little more.



Thanks

Typing "top" at the command line will show you which processes your TOP CPU hogs are. Try "man top" for more info.
