HELP!!!

I have our Intranet server hosted on Mandrake 9.0. Until yesterday it
had been working flawlessly for nearly 200 days.

Yesterday afternoon after lots of 'Disk Thrashing' the problems began.

Web page requests (via apache) were served very slowly, (I'm talking 5
minutes to serve a page that would typically take less than a second.
Telnet & ftp connections took similarly extended times to be made, even
the X-Windows system doesn't respond. Curiously though pings are
answered immediately!

I rebooted the machine (in the end I had to just switch off at the
mains!) and on reboot it began working fine again.

10 minutes ago the same thing has happened again.

What I would like to know is where to start to try and find what the
problem is and how to rectify it.

I did notice earlier that there was a httpd process using 253MB of
memory which seems rather excessive - is there any way to trace what
this process is doing ?

Thanks for any advice.

Jamie
