Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ4 - CPU overload

[ajongsma <andries.jongsma@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

And that's the whole problem, it doesn't. It just starts the monitor.cgi
(randomly it seems) and gives me this warning by mail. It allmost seems
like the CPU idle time has something to do whith this message (below
certain percentage let's give a warning).
It's really driving me nuts by now :(
This TOP is the actuall moment indeed but this message is completely
random. I couldn't provide you with an actually top-shot but I can say
that it depends on the number of qpoppers. Sometimes a qpopper needs
56%!!! and it only goes to one user. The dependancy seems to be the time
of reply but that's just a little bit...
