server is un-usable


Hello,
 
Alright this is a really weird issue and I am hoping that someone may have
some insite on how to fix this- it has become to frustrating for words...
 
What Happened:
-Tuesday night around midnight my RAQ4r decided to max out the CPU rendering
SMTP useless and web pretty much the same. Every since then I have had to
pretty much reboot the server ever hour... After that the server usually
takes an hour for the CPU to ramp up to a critical state.
 
What I have done.
- First I though it was the mirroring between my two drive (I have the
latest kernel installed---slow, fixed with echo         ETC... command) that
wasn't it..
- Second I thought it was Tomkat- Removed it from my httpd.conf file.. It
doesn't start-- Which is good-- cause it would   take forever to get the
thing started.. I though that was eating my CPU... Nope! Wasn't it..
- Third I have read every log file I can think of.. /var/log--> messages,
secure, maillog, xferlog-- CD'd  to httpd read access, error logs and I have
found nothing suspicious other that the usual CPU load to high,, POP login
rejected cause Sendmail has shut it self off due to the 20% process limit
(Which I have gone into the Sendmail.cf file  and upped it to 80 just get
users mail to send,, ;-( This is not good and I know that but,, I am in a
bad situation..
- Fourth I have tailed all of the logs above, mainly the access log in httpd
and watch the CPU usage- Hoping to find the ONE site that is killing my
CPU.. But I have yet to find it.. I have also shut down the sites that I
suspected- but this did not help either.. It's just a gradual process- that
the naked eye's cannot see..
 
If anyone has experienced this, or heard about IT through someone's second
cousins grandpa's brothers best friend ;-)) and can tell me about it or how
they fixed it-- Or another way to track it down IT WOULD BE SO GREATLY
APPRECIATED!! I have put two day's into this problem and it's driving me
nutz!
 
Thank You,
 
Matt
