Title: server slowing down
Post by: sage on December 09, 2001, 09:15:47 PM

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...

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