Hi, Under Imail 7.15, we've lately (the last month or so) found the iwebmsg service going out of control. It just suddenly runs to 99% of the CPU and the entire machine slows to a crawl. I'd never seen this before a month ago, but it's happened repeatedly since. I checked the knowledgebase, and it suggested turning off the Keep Alive setting, but that didn't help us. Failing any better suggestion, I'm thinking of some way to detect when the web message process goes over, say, 50% of the CPU and then restarting it. So, my question is: first, is there a utility that will monitor a particular process and take action when that process exceeds a certain CPU percentage? Second, is there a command line utility that will get the PID from the process name? Third, is there a command line utility that will restart (as opposed to simply killing) a process? Actually, I think I know how to do that last step. The big issue is how to automatically monitor the CPU utilization by a given process and how to identify that process by PID. Unless, of course, you know what's causing my problem and how to stop it altogether. We're planning on upgrading to 2006 anyway, but I'm waiting for 2006.2, which seems to be taking its sweet time.
