perry470 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Been using WHMCS for six months now. I never really noticed this issue until I recently took a look at the processes by typing in the command ps -aux and found out that the cron.php has almost reached 100% CPU usage. Not sure what would've caused that. USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND 32027 1759 99.3 2.4 289864 202300 ? RNs 08:00 556:56 php -q /home/tech2007/public_html/clients/admin/cron.php Low memory usage, but it is almost hogging the entire CPU by itself. The status shows that it is indeed running but with a low-priority (indicated by the lower-case s) It also seems to be running for some time now. (556 minutes) Here are the charts produced by MRTG Both the Load and CPU usage stats match with the time the cron.php is executed. It actually runs for 12 hours total every day. I took a look inside cron.php and realized it was encrypted. What could be the cause of such high CPU usage ? Thanks for all your help in advanced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplybe Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Try turning off the database backup option for 1 day and see if the cron still causes the load to spike. If the load drops then you need to look at why the backup is hanging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
