Maintenance and slowness - linux servers

As you've all probably noticed, the forum as been getting slower and slower. I had assumed that this was due to the large number of visitors we now have here - in a quick sample on Friday, we had over 76,000 accesses to the index and message pages !

However, I'd been getting "Server low on Memory and CPU" messages, and after a morning of investigation, I tracked it down to a 'rogue' process, 'parseReport.pl' this runs on linux servers to analyse the logs files, and when these file get too big, it can cripple the server ! On here, it was taking over 90% of memory, and at times 95% of CPU !

Anyhow, I've now delete the server log files, and things seem to have improved !

If anyone with a linux server needs more into, then contact me by email

Now back to some more wetlook work :)
