michaellunsford Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Running redhat on my server. Works great, but I have to reboot once a week because the load average (reported from uptime) exceeds 100, and the whole system grinds to a hault.Is there a command to give the complete process list and how much resources each process is using?

michaellunsford Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 top might be a little too intense in the middle of system problems -- but the man did suggest ps. Ps can provide a snapshot without the constant refreshing -- which should show me what I need to see.thanks for the help!

But yeah, ps aux will give you a quick overall view.

michaellunsford Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 kind of waiting on the server to get busy again. Lately it's been at 0.00 or 0.2 -- it can take 10 days.

michaellunsford Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 nine days and counting...The system jumped to 25.93 for a few minutes and I think I finally figured out what's doing it. One site I host is doing a bunch of GDLib thumbnails on the fly. That might do it -- but ps isn't very helpful in determining if my hunch is right.

Jenk Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 vmstat 5 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21984-how-to-get-process-list/#findComment-135083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Not sure as to the reason for bumping a 2 month old thread, but we'll go with it.I've never used vmstat, but something tells me it's a product related to vmware. If the system load is exceeding 100, something tells me that you really, really don't want to use anything with VMs. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21984-how-to-get-process-list/#findComment-135320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
