... coincidence?
I suspect it is purely coincidence in fact. Screen is such a widely
used thing nowadays that I find itpretty unthinkable. No, something
else was going on ... sar shows ldavg going from flat 0 up to 4 at
02:10 this morning and then increasing by 4 every 10 minutes. 546 when
they rebooted the box. I wonder what...
(Incidentally, when you get a box that is that saturated that you
can't even log into it, It seems like you have two choices. Push the
Big Button or use Alt-SysRq if you have that enabled. Any other
takers...?)
