Hi We have recently upgraded from 5.1 to 6.2 Intermittently the server slows down completely. On investigation the following daemons seem to be hogging CPU time: root 144 0.1 0.3 1208 464 ? S 15:23 0:02 lpsched /amdq root 1649 94.2 0.2 1256 296 ? R 15:47 7:18 in.telne /amdq root 1789 0.0 0.3 1244 508 pts/1 S 15:55 0:00 grep amdq I cannot find a reference to amdq anywhere !. I assume that lpsched is related to the lpd ?. The only way to solve the problem is to reboot. Even then I have to remove the network cable until the machine has completed otherwise it hangs on named or sendmail. Can anyone tellme what the purpose of these daemons are and what function they perform ?. Thanks in advance. John -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
