High load with /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin d processes

[paisley]

Hello,

I have a Directadmin VPS on CentOS and suddenly a high load with processes like:

/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin d

They running for some seconds, so I have no time/reason to kill them.

What I tried so far:
- Update & Restart Directadmin
- Restart http/mysql/crond
- Stopped crond
- added # to file: /etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron
- Checked cron and directadmin logs
- Updated: yum / roundcube / phpmyadmin
- killall -USR1 dataskq ( dataskq: no process found)
- tail -n 10 /var/log/directadmin/errortaskq.log (no actual errors)
- /var/log/directadmin/login.log shows not bruto-force
- Runned: set_permissions.sh all

Running cronjobs in debug mode

/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d2000
Debug mode. Level 2000
root priv set: uid:0 gid:0 euid:0 egid:0
pidfile written
starting queue

Gives only 2 errors:
- Tally::system_acount_is_suspended(scan): unable to get user_info
- exim1: Unable to find ip_after from




In the cron logs I only see:
May 21 23:02:01 server CROND[1921]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq)
May 21 23:03:01 server CROND[2907]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq)

May 21 23:08:01 server CROND[7738]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq)
May 21 23:09:01 server CROND[8716]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq)
(processes are running under nobody) also see sometimes: .[directadmin] <defunct>

Hope someone can put me in the right direction.

Strange it is now gone: load average: 0.11, 0.12, 0.25
The Last was I did was updating pure-ftpd
