This is sounding similar to the problem I have with my setup:
High CPU usage.
Can't kill IMAP.
kill -9 doesn't work for imap processes? You didn't mention this
before.I'm using CentOS 5.2 64-bit version with the latest cPanel.
So what am I missing, other than the problem nobody else is having is clearly something they ARE having?
If you can't kill -9 a process, it means the kernel is buggy. At least 2.6.27 was buggy and it was fixed in 2.6.27.10.
Some of this is above my pay grade (so forgive the imprecision), but I
did try to restart IMAP in cPanel with no success, assuming I catch it
before the load makes it impossible to do anything.
Yes, I have been able to kill processes by the standard ID number. I
did that with rsync the other day when changing the backup parameters.
Here's the kernel info on my box:
Linux server.paracastworld.net 2.6.27.9rootserver-20081216a #1 SMP Tue
Dec 16 02:29:13 EST 2008 x86_64
So that's a buggy kernel?
Or is the 2.6.27.9 version better than 2.6.27 in this regard?
Peace, Gene
