CPU Usage Maxing Out To 100% at Host Consistantly

Hello everyone,

I am having a serious problem with my site MAXING out CPU usage to 100% constantly each day.  Does anyone know how this can be traced to the script or source of the CPU usage?  Please see attached image:

Thank you,

Jeff

jeff,

do you have SSH access?

you can login to SSh and run the top command, it will show you what is using the resources.

whatever is running at 100%

then run the command kill -9 on that processID

but i would venture to say, its the XML.php file

LOL

but dont know without seeing what is running in your processes

Hi DosDawg,

Yes I have SSH and putty but I have no idea what I am looking for LOL maybe you can help?

Thank you,

Jeff

If I am looking correctly it looks like my MySQL is being hammered big time.

 that is possible

in SSH

give the following command logged in as root preferably:

mysql

SHOW PROCESSLIST

copy that output and past it here so we can see it....

keep in mind that he is also on a shared server and by looking at top the server has 12 gigs of ram and its about 500mb away from capping out....

and has a butt load of php defuncts in the tree....

and is also only allowed 5% of the overall cpu power of the server.
