Hi,
I am suddenly getting a very high load (>10) but the actual number of
processes stays more or less constant. Also the CPU utilisation is low
(10%). This is a PIII 500MHz with 256 MB RAM (which was not detected
automatically, btw). The problem is that this high load is blocking all
kind of programs and I can't run new programs.
Did anybody experience such a problem ?
How can I find out what program is causing this high load (as I understand
the load reflects the number of processes spawned per second. It seems
that there is a program that spawns all the time new processes, how can I
find it ?)
