Comment(by hamish):

 Hi,

 minor wish: could the awstats.pl cron job be run nice'd?

 In the pre-osuosl days the awstats processes would dominate the xblade13's
 single cpu for 30min-1 hour each day, which tended to slow everything else
 down.

 Out of curiosity I've restarted my log_cpu.sh 5 minute instrumenting on
 xblade13; in the last month before the xblades went down I had stopped it
 and posted the following to the SAC list, but it was a few kb over the
 size limit so never made it & I never bothered to repost.

 Hi,

 fyi, before the Projects VM gets well underway
 and with the auth delays now sorted out, I
 though I'd wrap up my logging of loads on
 xblade13 and 14.

 over the period xblade13 had an average load
   of 1%, and maxed out the CPU 1.5% of the
   time.  (5 minute averages, 5 minute sampling
   period)

 over the period xblade14 had an average load
   of 52%, and maxed out the CPU 10.1% of the
   time.  (5 minute averages, 5 minute sampling
   period)


 logging has now ceased.


 regards,
 Hamish

 ps- if you have a choice, "yymmdd" instead of "ddmmyy" is nicer for sorted
 directory listings..
