Re: Why is my load average 3.00?
hi ya
de-install/remove postgres ( yoou pobably have tons of pending emails ? )
what does "top -i" show as running
- you should be able to identify all those jobs listed
if you're not talking to windoze boxes,
- remove samba
if you are using other windoze boxes, check /etc/samba/smb.conf
if you're not exporting this box to toher pc..
- remove nfs-server
if you are using it... check /etc/exports
