Yes, it's 30 cron jobs inside the Linodes running slocate at the same time. I've been going through the distro templates to make [slocate|find] only run once a week.

Another thing.

Today I've noticed that my ssh sessions just drop.

I am on a very reliable network, so that cannot be the problem.

Sometimes my ssh sessions just drop for no reason,
and I get disconnected errors. I see nothing about this in /var/log
messages so either my routers are doing something naughty with
IP addresses or such, or something is up with the linode network.

I have seen a lot of complaints about dropped connections in various threads here. I would just like to note that I have never experienced any dropped connections to or from my linode. I take this as evidence that the Linode network is Just Fine.

While running only weekly will help us all, there will still be that weekly time that everything comes to a halt. Why don't you change the cron job a little to something like this, so that the start times of all the hogging processes are offset a little:

#!/bin/sh

# sleep some random time between 0 and 2 hours
sleep $((RANDOM %7200))


# cpu/mem/disk hogger process runs below

That is a very good suggestion.

I also made (or will have made) each distro's default cron-time a little different, so at least there's a mix of loads...

Well, in all fairness it just proves that our host and it's network is fine, but I'm still happy.

Shouldn't the daily/weekly/monthly cronjobs be offset by timezones? /etc/localtime on my linode is set to CST7CDT, and my dailies occur at 6:25 local time.

BJI,

Just to clarify, that statement is technically inaccurate and I will make sure it gets updated.

Just a friendly reminder, it's been 1 month and the site hasn't been updated.

Thanks,
Bryan

Thanks -- updated.

Also, I have some more information -- looking at the averages across the hosts, the most any UML process has 'in swap' is 200 kbytes. And I've never seen it go higher than that. Thought you'd like to know!

Thought you'd like to know that I have been having great performance for the past couple of months. Haven't noticed any slowdowns at all. Fantastic! I'm very pleased with my Linode!
