Todd,
Sure that's one way. I think the application that is doing
it is a MySQL based game played in the browser. I guessed that it
only gets bad when someone is playing.... I did a little more
investigating, and I see that when there is a flurry of web traffic
to his IP address, the MySQL CPU utilization shows up as the top
process in top. There are many IPs on this box, so it's not proof,
but that might be a way to narrow it down.
...and of course I was looking for the "clever hacker way to
do it without interrupting the site's availability". I already knew I
could do process of elimination ! :o)
Thanks,
Mike

Anyone got a handy/clever way to figure out which site is hitting MySQL ?
How about, "We'll be performing system maintenance from x PM to x PM
and your website may be momentarily offline." Then kill each one, one
by one, and watch top or whatever. Or just cut to the chase and kill
the one you know is doing it. Surely it would take just a couple of
seconds each. If my hoster did that to me, I wouldn't know the
difference. Of course, uptime on my site is not so important.
But surely there's a way for some clever hacker to do it without
interrupting the site's availability.
