Wierd happening with /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq

The past few days I am getting periodic alerts for apache restarting every 5 minutes and when I look at the process monitor it appears that /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq is running for an insanely long time. The server is running CENTOS 5.7 64 bit if this helps.

Is this something that I should be worried about?

You would have to put it in debug mode to see what it is doing.

Simplest diagnostic is probably to delete the taskqueue file and kill those processes. Then see if it recurrs.

It has happened a few times this past week and from the control panel I just authenticate and kill the said process and everything seems to quiet down for a spell. Fortunately for the last couple of days there has not been an issue with it but I do keep my fingers crossed.

In other news, the new server is getting a whole lot closer to being ready for production at which point the real fun begins when I migrate everything over from the original server to the new one
