Bruce,<br><br>the sys stats shown above is at no call and I run the ps -auwxx, i couldn't see any process taking up the resources.<br><br>for example, the maximum of cpu usage was asterisk -vvvvg -c and mysql and they are together
0.5% and 0.4% respectively.<br><br>I have other servers running on Dell PowerEdge 2850 and they are okay.<br><br>Thanks for your response<br><br>goksie<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/31/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<div>I have seen this same type of stats on the list a couple of times now and wanted to share a thought. I am not a linux expert by any means, but in the windows world a 100% CPU idle means the percentage of CPU that is currently ideling. Basicly if I take all the process in the task manager and add up the percentages it should equal 100 and "System Idle" general takes up the left overs. Reaing the CPU stats above it looks like
86.2% of the CPU is currently unused, A good thin in my book. To test my theroy I loaded up an * server and with no calls there was 100% id the more calls the lower the number got. <br><br>Again just thoughts from a non-linux guru.
