Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello all. I'm running FreeBSD 3.2 on a PIII server with 384 MB of RAM and 9.6 GB HD. I'm running APACHE and Mysql there and holds about 200 small sites. When I run the TOP command I receive this information: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- last pid: 51413; load averages: 0.10, 0.08, 0.03 up 7+01:20:10 19:45:08 44 processes: 1 running, 40 sleeping, 3 zombie CPU states: 35.8% user, 0.0% nice, 2.7% system, 1.9% interrupt, 59.5% idle Mem: 46M Active, 282M Inact, 22M Wired, 11M Cache, 8348K Buf, 6868K Free Swap: 512M Total, 512M Free -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have 2 questions. 1) What's a zombie process???? .Just curious. 2) How could I know that my system is overloaded?. Because of the use of Memory? or Active process? idle percentage? use of swap memory? I'm sorry if this sounds too basic.
