a lot of pids

[terrani]

Hello,

I felt that my server is too slow and hangs many times in the morning. I checked server monitor under directadmin menu and found out this.

exim (pid 2975 2982 3868 3869 4246 4251 4402 4407 4682 4686 4819 4823 4954 4963 5698 5701 6016 6024 6079 6318 6320 6329 6337 6527 6530 6531 6536 6570 6576 6654 6660 6686 6694 6729 6733 6736 6740 6785 6789 6867 6868 6870 6871 6875 6877 6878 6879 6881 6882 6890 6896 6897 6899 6906 6907 6910 6913 6915 6918 6921 6923 6927 6929 6931 6933 6934 6936 6937 6938 6940 6941 6943 6944 6945 6946 6948 6949 6951 6952 6957 6959 6960 6961 6962 )

vm-pop3d (pid 3023 3024 3025 3026 3027 3028 3029 3030 3031 3032 3033 )

ectadmin (pid 2966 6551 6841 6847 6855 6858 )

mysqld (pid 3124 3189 3190 3191 3192 3193 3216 3217 3218 3219 4106 )

Anyone knows what is problem with my server??

Best Regards,

Just a wild guess but your server maybe sending out masses of spam. Suggest you check your logs.

Most likely it's not sending lots of spam.

More likely it's got a lot of email stuck in the outgoing queue.

First delete all frozen messages from the queue.

If that doesn't help, then get rid of all email on the server over three days.
