Look, this is emergency.
I woke up this morning and found I could not open my site. Also I reveived an alert mail from Linode
Your Linode, ***, has exceeded the notification threshold (90) for CPU Usage by averaging 368.8% for the last 2 hours.
I opened a ticket to the support team, here is the answer:
Hello -
Your Linode is OOMing, meaning something inside your node is consuming all of the available virtual memory. You can see this for yourself by logging into Lish and viewing the console:
http://library.linode.com/linode-manager/using-lish-the-linode-shell.html
You'll need to identify the culprit and adjust its configuration to prevent it from happening again. Apache, mysql, and anti-spam software are the usual suspects. Please visit our community IRC channel if you need any help:

Regards,
-Tom
Now I know what is going on, but I have no idea how to make up this, can somebody show me the way? Better be step by step.
Any answer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!! |

No, it's not an emergency.
The answer was pretty self-explanatory in my opinion. You must find out what is eating your RAM by either looking at the system when it breaks or looking at your log files in the hopes that it is mentioned. Then you must reconfigure the offending service(s) to stop using so much RAM. |

| We can't even begin to help without knowing what size Linode you're using and what software you are running on it. |

| htop is a nice, intuitive visual tool that you can run to see what processes are using the most ram. It would be worth it to install that if you haven't already. |

As other's have said, unless you're paying us, it's not an emergency for us. Sorry.
