Depending on what OS you are using, if you use either ps -ef or ps -aux
it will show you the processes, and you should see a few wget jobs sitting there. Being that it runs only once an hour, I doubt that a few hundred wget jobs are building up. Try moving the cron job to a little bit past the hour, say 14 minutes past, and see if the peak load also moves with the new starting time of the job. That would indicate that it is the wget job and then we can dig further. -----Original Message----- From: Miguel Gonzalez [mailto:miguel_3_gonza...@yahoo.es] Sent: Thursday, 14 June 2012 5:06 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: wget and Tomcat resources ----- Mensaje original ----- De: Darryl Lewis <darryl.le...@unsw.edu.au> Para: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> CC: Enviado: Jueves 14 de junio de 2012 2:51 Asunto: RE: wget and Tomcat resources >Have a look on the box running the script to see if there are a lot of these >wget jobs sitting there.

Sorry, it runs every hour. I have google around, how can I get a list of processes that are launched by cron? I can't find them Regards, Miguel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
