[webmin-l] Hundreds of cron /usr/bin/monitor.sh notifications followed by server crash

[<pr...@pr...>]

From: Prodos

Good afternoon.

For two days in a row my server has crashed.

Before it crashes I receive hundreds of notifications
from my server.

The subject line of each message is:

Cron <root@prodos> /usr/bin/monitor.sh

And the content of each message says this:

Load Avegare check FAILED at 11

[I presume this should be spelt "Load Average"?]

... but with different numbers.

My most recent LogWatch says (among other things) this:

Connections Rejected due to load average::
   Load Avg 12: 111 Times(s)
   Load Avg 13: 51 Times(s)
   Load Avg 131: 1 Times(s)
   Load Avg 14: 59 Times(s)
   Load Avg 15: 41 Times(s)
   Load Avg 16: 23 Times(s)
   Load Avg 17: 24 Times(s)
   Load Avg 18: 19 Times(s)

   [And the list goes on and on]


Does anyone have any idea what's happening
and what could be done to fix this?

Thank you for any assistance.
