Hello,
I have strange process that is eating my server resources, and i noticed that the process is starting every Thursday at about 2:00 in the night.
The process is eating all my server memory and when i am able to check Running Processes i see something like this:
Running processes 298
and when i click on 298 i see this:
1559 www-data 157.74 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1555 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1557 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1560 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 2494 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 2497 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1259 www-data 157.74 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1255 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1257 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1260 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 2394 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 2334 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1359 www-data 157.74 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1355 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1357 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1460 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 2494 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 2497 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1459 www-data 157.74 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1455 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1457 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 1460 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 2494 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 2334 www-data 157.67 MB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
and so on...
In apache2.Conf File I tried to limit MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 to MaxKeepAliveRequests 15
But the process repeated again this Thursday.
How to understand what causes this process to start?
Please help and advice!
Thanks in advance...
