How to check server load?
 

I have a virtual hosting account. It's seems there are 100 accounts on the same server :( In my opinion this is far to many. How can I check CPU load/memory usage?

Type: "w" or "top"

In your SSH, if you are thinking of switching virtual packages hit me up on icq at 36837470 or check out www.realitychecknetwork.com/virtual.html

We have plenty of resources for your to burn.

7:26PM up 105 days, 23:06, 3 users, load averages: 0.45, 0.50, 0.59

last pid: 94480; load averages: 0.50, 0.53, 0.59 up 105+23:08:54 19:28:59
3 processes: 1 running, 2 sleeping
CPU states: 6.2% user, 0.2% nice, 7.2% system, 0.8% interrupt, 85.6% idle
Mem: 1017M Active, 424M Inact, 321M Wired, 84M Cache, 199M Buf, 166M Free
Swap: 512M Total, 76M Used, 436M Free, 14% Inuse

Doesn't look bad at all, does it?

looks fine... (geen vuiltje aan de lucht!)

Just one question left...

Those numbers after "load averages:" is that per user? Over three weeks/months?

Best veel Nederlanders hier zeg :winkwink:

you got a juicyyy load i seee

Nee ;)
If I'm not mistaken this is 1, 5 and 15 minutes intervals. It means 0.5 processes want to run at the same time.

Thanks for the info :thumbsup


After five fucked up hosting suckers I decided to go with Isprime.
I hope it is the last one...

more and more dutch (like myself)

isprime is the absolute best. You won't be disappointed

(het neusje van de zalm!)

That's what the people say. So I decided to give it a shot, but the no. of users disappointed me a bit. But the server load looks real good.

(Met hoevelen zouden we eigenlijk zijn? Tien? Twintig?)

How do you check this?

Login to your server and enter "top".
