for last couple days my server goes down at about the same time every night
or it becomes really really slow

so this time i SSH into my server type in "netstat"
and i get this alot of moscow something bla bla

and i get this in my email

ERROR: I guess another mrtg is running. A lockfile (/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg_l) aged
8 seconds is hanging around. If you are sure that no other mrtg
is running you can remove the lockfile

so does anybody knows what is going on because i have no idea ???

i have this too every night load goes up - its happening ~3-5 am GMT - then everything is back to normal.

i eaven disabled backup to see if its a problem.

i dont see anything bad in logs.

its for last week - newer before.

im on RHE3 + cpanel

Yeah same with me
my starts around 8 or 9 Pm Eastern

Perhaps you should contact support regarding it.

Even though Im on a win2k3 box, my box went down last night. donno if this will continue or not.

has this been fixed yet?

I contaced the support
and i really dont know if they did anything or not
but im not having this problem anymore

did they give u an idea on what was causing it or how to prevent it?

all they said is that it is just someone surfing my site
because all those connections were coming on port 80

and everything was just fine for the last few days, now im having the same problem again and the server sometimes goes down and attepmts to restart
or becomes really really slow
