I am still trying to figure this out (and what ever the problem is, I bet
it is the same problem that makes my blackbox crash a few times each
week).
Well anyways... simply doing a "Restart" (root menu -> Restart) also makes
my load average go down.
For example my load average was over 7. Right after I did a Restart:
3:18PM up 2 days, 7:26, 1 user, load averages: 4.37, 7.17, 7.62
And 15 minutes later:
3:33PM up 2 days, 7:41, 1 user, load averages: 0.57, 0.60, 2.71
(same programs running -- in fact a few more rxvt and ssh clients
running).
Now it is rising again with same processes running:
3:42PM up 2 days, 7:50, 1 user, load averages: 2.64, 1.60, 2.21
Now I did another blackbox Restart at 3:43 and ...
3:44PM up 2 days, 7:51, 1 user, load averages: 0.91, 1.36, 2.04
3:45PM up 2 days, 7:52, 1 user, load averages: 0.41, 1.12, 1.91
Does anyone have any idea how I can debug how blackbox is utilizing my
system?
