RE: [cobalt-users] CPU is overloaded - Help

["Ali & Charlie" <dynamicduo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dan,
Is there a cron job that is running daily? A backup or something else? There
must be something running that is loading the server, even temporarily. We
see that this server is only running 32 meg of ram, you might want to
consider adding more ram to resolve this as it certainly would not hurt.
Best wishes,
Ali & Charlie
