Hello,

looks like dataskq is going strange.

[root@server data]# pwd
/usr/local/directadmin/data
[root@server data]# ls
admin sessions skins task.queue10 task.queue.tmp templates tickets users
[root@server data]#

[root@server data]# cat task.queue.tmp
action=cache&type=popquota
[root@server data]# cat task.queue10
action=tally&value=all 0 anaconda-ks.cfg gg install.log install.log.syslog packages anaconda-ks.cfg gg install.log install.log.syslog packages anaconda-ks.cfg gg install.log install.log.syslog packages root /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/awstats/hooks/cgi-bin/awstats_updateall.pl now -awstatsprog=/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/awstats/hooks/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
[root@server data]#

Where is this coming from? there are like 10-20 processes of dataskq.
 
to finish the queue
you should do:
Code: 
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d2000
 
It does this everyday. Around 13:30. It also starts like 10 dataskq processes and the load on the server god up to 40-50. I delete the task.queue files from /usr/local/directadmin/data/ and then killal -9 dataskq to get the load back to normal.
 
You'll have to find out what cronjobs or other settings are putting ten dataskq process onto the server. Are you, or one or more of your clients, running backups at 13:30?

Today it made 3 task.queue files:

[root@server data]# ls
admin sessions skins task.queue task.queue10 task.queue.tmp templates tickets users


[root@server data]# cat task.queue*
action=cache&type=popquota
action=tally&value=all 0 * * * root /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/awstats/hooks/cgi-bin/awstats_updateall.pl now -awstatsprog=/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/awstats/hooks/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
action=cache&type=popquota

if a user would start a backup with cron i should see this back in the task.queue files right???
 
There shold only be one task.queue file. It runs lines from the top, removing them as it runs them (I'm not sure if before or after), then it removes the entire file when there's nothing more in it.

Perhaps you need to contact DirectAdmin Support or hire someone to look into your server.
