Hi,
You can check the server load [live] by using the following command.
root@server1 [~]# watch w
You can see the result like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every2.0s:w
Sun Aug 8 10:50:55 2010
10:50:55 up 128 days, 6:23, 2 users, load average: 2.79, 2.72, 2.78
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
root pts/0 92.172.12.15 10:25 25:18 0.02s 0.02s -bash
root pts/1 92.172.12.15 10:46 10.00s 0.02s 0.00s watch w
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alternatively you can use the top command:
root@server10 [~]# top
You can check the server load [live] by using the following command.
root@server1 [~]# watch w

Ram is cleared automatically when another process needs it. Your ram should always be nearly 100% used.

You can see load average with 'w' or 'top'. If your swap usage start to grow you should consider upgrade RAM or check process that are using most resources of your server.

There is a process monitor in directadmin to check the system load.
