Daily maintenance crashes server

ehrenwert

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

I just mentioned that the daily maintenance crashed the server :-/ The load increased up to 144 (!) and RAM usage was 100%.

That's an excerpt of ps-output:

Any idea how to solve that?
 
Is this VPS or standalone server?
Any related error messages in logs?
 
It's running on VPS. But the box has 12 CPU cores and 40GB memory/120GB SWAP.

At the moment I'm running the daily scripts manually and see, that since the beginning of

The memory-usage is growing very fast: http://d.pr/8u3C
 
It's running on VPS. But the box has 12 CPU cores and 40GB memory/120GB SWAP.
Is it Virtuozzo VPS? If yes - check failcounters for different resources with

# cat /proc/user_beancounters

Many failcounters may cause kernel OOM Killer for VPS. This may be found on Virtuozzo node but not in VPS.
 
It's proxmox and container runs on LXC.

I see that memory consumption is going up to 100% and the system begins swapping. After a while the memory-consumption goes back to normal level: http://d.pr/16mdW
 
At the moment I see the following errors:

this happens in a loop.

Edit: Now the screen shows "KILLED" and load increases dramatically. The machine did not react to any signal and I had to reboot it.

I guess there is an error in wpmng.

If I try to sync the wordpress-installation on example.com via PLESK GUI, I'm getting this error:
