What's using up all server resources?

[mli11]

Hi everyone,

Something is eating up all my server resources (disk space is fine and so is cpu.. but system resources goes up to 99%).

I have a strong feeling it's the newly added "spam assassin" that causes my system to crash (from QoS alert I get black zone on privvmpages).

So, I restarted the VPS (email and ftp couldn't connect) and stopped Spam Assassin and Dr Web antivirus. Now system usage is "down" to 80%.

My question: How can I find out how much respectively:

1. process,
2. programs and
3. domains

that are using up "system resources" and "cpu"?

Is there a simple command in SHELL? (I tried "top" but it showed real time, I need a "history-logg").

Any help as always much appreciated.

Kindly,
Mikael

#top

That will show you the running processes

Ok, but as I said, I would like a list that gives me following inforamtion:

1. Name of process / component
2. How much system resource used

If that doesn't exist, maybe it's possible to record and store such information for later analyze?

Kindly,
Mikael
