Help with huge cpu consuming and crash afterwords
 

Hi, I have a Centos 5 with asterisk running on it with MySQL 5.

Since a couple of months, the machine is hanging itself. I can't connect in any way to it. I have it in a Datacenter far away my office, so when it happens I have to ask the provider to reboot it manually because it always happen in working hours and my clients gets mad on that moments. It happens every 15 days (more or less).
It is very difficult to get the procesess status, but today hangs again and I could connect (a very very slow connection) and save a "ps aux".

I really appreciatte that you can help me to find the problem, this is the ps aux before definitely hangs:

There are some scripts that you can see as "php /var/www/html/call_engine.php ..." that are consuming CPU more than I expect and I will correct, but I would like to know about the other processes like many crond or the "/usr/sbin/sendmail -FCronDaemon -i -odi -oem -oi -t". Or maybe the whole problem would be the php script?


Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The only abnormal thing I see are the processes :

Just check in the message logs for these processes, if you find something for last few months.

Though there may be some hardware related issue like overheating or something.

Hi, these processes are scripts launched by a cron. It's part of an asterisk application. And there's a lot of "crond" commands. My cron is executing every minute and run that php scripts, but usually the crond command show up in the top for a few seconds just to run the script and dissapear. This time seems to freeze there sucking too much CPUs processing.

If this is all the problem, I could handle it because I will rewrite the script.

It's reasonable an overheating problem too because after each reboot, I don't have any clue of errors in the messages log. That is a sign of (unexpected) halting or power down.

I don't know if someone can see any other possible problem before I change the hardware of the machine.

Regards
