multiple dataskq processes at the same time

[enginaar]

Is this normal? I found this in syslog after I got several notices that system load average is 196.74 and it's happening periodically everyday for the last 2 weeks.

Hello,


What do you see with

cat /etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron

?

It's like below, nothing seems strange to me but I also noticed that the dataskq process' number was same with the number of message I got for system high load. That was strange because they were all send at the same time does DA have this functionality or is it lfd sending me that messages? If so, lfd is screwed up.

* * * * * root /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq
2 0-23/6 * * * root echo 'action=vacation&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue;
#5 5 * * 0 root /sbin/quotaoff -a; /sbin/quotacheck -augm; /sbin/quotaon -a;
10 0 * * * root echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
20 4 1 * * root echo 'action=reset&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
0 4 * * * root echo 'action=check&value=license' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

I've never seen anything of the kind, your cron file seems to be OK. Did you try to restart crond?

No, but I had to restart the server before that because it was frozen this morning, it wasn't a busy hour though. Logs show nothing, I believe it's either csf+lfd or Ubuntu is failing to stay stable. Everything seems perfect after reboot, I still have no idea what happened
