I still fail to see why my systems loads went from 1.50 - 2.00. There's over 250 processes constantly running in "select" state. Loads are now almost always 0.00 and sometimes touching 0.10 I'm confused as to what problem this solved besides creating problems.. Now I have no idea what the real system load is. Surely 0.00 load is not proper for a system running so many things. Reason being I use load averages to determine if a computer needs upgrading. When things go above a constant 2.00 or higher it either means upgrade to better hardware or reduce the amount of things running on that server to another server. Maybe i'm missing something.. but this seems to only have broken things not fixed anything.. Please enlighten me. Holt --- "Bruce A.
