hi all... for the last 4 - 5 days i noticed something weird on one of the freebsd boxes here. one httpd process -or sometimes 2 or 3 - take up all the cpu. and it looks like this: # top CPU states: 33.1% user, 0.0% nice, 66.5% system, 0.4% interrupt, 0.0% idle Mem: 476M Active, 295M Inact, 162M Wired, 61M Cache, 112M Buf, 7556K Free Swap: 2032M Total, 4K Used, 2032M Free PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 85655 nobody 64 0 20632K 14880K RUN 126:03 97.07% 97.07% httpd 85654 nobody 2 0 19532K 13616K sbwait 0:16 0.24% 0.24% httpd 6081 root 28 0 2016K 1196K RUN 0:00 0.22% 0.10% top # ps -auwx|grep httpd ..................................... nobody 85648 0.0 1.3 19564 13848 ??

Ss 10:00AM 0:00.00 /bin/sh -c /usr/local/bin/bsdsar_gather ........... this si the first time it appeared today. it says it started at 1:35pm but that's not possible since it appears for the first at 10:00 am... i was trying to figure out if it's a connection being opened from the same client machine all the time but i can not tell from netstat which connection corresponds to this process... i can't find anything unusual in the logs... Server version: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE can somebody please help explain what and why is this happening... thanks a lot... --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
