Is there a better way CPU utilization V7.09

I am experiencing 100% CPU utilization on a fairly robust server. Dual Xeon 4gb Ram astaro v7.09, and what I want to know is what are your thoughts about determining which process is causing the problem.

TIA

Run 'ps' on the console.
The top process will be the one currently using the most CPU.

"top" is a useful console / shell command as well.

ack... I meant top, not ps
[:(]

PS won't sort by default.

Very good chance it will be auisys.plx

I am not sure to stop and restart it without re-booting the box.

Why ssh in to get the process list?

Support -> Advanced -> Process List

But if you are at 100% CPU this might pose a problem O_o.

You can sort via ps. For example to sort via CPU in descending order:

ps -A u --sort -pcpu

It's faster for me, as I never remember where things like that are in the webmin. I think it's been moved a few times.
Also, over a slow connection, ssh is much faster than webmin.

Furthermore, 'top' on the console refreshes much faster so it's easier to see what's going on.
