Topic: sme7admin and cpu usage

[Gert]

I have installed sme7admin on one of my servers yesterday because it is  running VERY slow. Now every 5 minutes I get an email that says:

[ALRT] netkeeper.pleroma.co.za : cpu = 100 % (max=60 %)
Your processor is 100 % loaded, you had set the alert limit to 60 %.

My processor is constantly running between 99.96% and 100%.
Today it seems to be faster but the processor usage is still 99-100%

Is there a way i can determine wat process is using all the cpu usage, or why it is so slow? It is a Intel Pentium 4 - 1.7 with 512mb ram. Running sme7.0

If you ssh into the box (or have a monitor hooked up), you can run ps -A from terminal to list what all processes are running.

Take your action from that point.

I agree, ssh in, but use top. This shows the list of processes, but also shows memory usage and % cpu used. It will be pretty easy to find the most cpu-consuming processes.

Thank you all for the reply.

Top was exactly wat I was looking for. That was very helpful

If you like top, you might try htop too.

Wow, that is pretty cool.

My main boxes at home are all running Ubuntu and I use Tilda an awful lot.  If I ssh into the server (in tilda) and run htop, it is the perfect fit and I can just keep monitoring by hitting F12 (my bind to bring Tilda up/down).  THanks.
