Hello all,
        I'm a newbie to the list but I've been around Linux for a while. I have
one of my servers monitored for excessive cpu and memory usage. When they
exceed limits it generates me an e-mail. Periodically I get paged for
excessive memory utilization around 3pm and I hop onto the server and start
looking around for a process that is active with a high amount of memory
usage. I never find anything out of the ordinary. It is a web/mysql server
running rh8. The server doesn't seem to be bogged down because of it, but
I'm curious as to what is going on. I have 256mb physical and a 256mb swap.
I have at most a dozen people on the site at any given time and I checked
netstat and there couldn't have been more than 3 or 4 people on the machine.

        I also checked my cron entries looking for one that runs around 3 pm and
there is none. Everything runs in the evening in the exception of some that
run regularly all day long.

TIA

Larry

PS. I will try to attend the next meeting. How late do you usually go?
What is the attendance usually like?
