speedybackend issue
I have a box with centos 4.x that runs openwebmail
I know that speedybackend runs with openwebmail but for some reason now when it runs i get a high proccess % when webmail runs

Code:
 PID USER      PR  NI %CPU    TIME+  %MEM  VIRT  RES  SHR S COMMAND
19905 root      25   0   27   1:26.87  0.6 16956  12m 2860 R speedy_backend
19729 root      25   0   25   1:25.67  0.6 16952  12m 2860 R speedy_backend
20273 root      25   0   24   0:31.50  0.5 16276  11m 3008 R speedy_backend

19901 root      25   0   20   1:26.38  0.6 16956  12m 2860 R speedy_backend
25492 root      25   0   20   0:01.99  0.5 16040  10m 2968 R speedy_backend
25233 root      25   0   20   0:04.68  0.5 16040  10m 2968 R speedy_backend
20246 root      25   0   17   1:12.90  0.5 16040  10m 2968 R speedy_backend

Eventually openwebmail just times out and I have to kill the processes for speedybackend to lighten the server load. THis happens everytime a user tries to use openwebmail. The logs look like this during a session

Code:
Fri Aug  1 15:53:10 2008 - [25233] (xx.xxx.35.98) dperkins - update /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/etc/maps/etc.mail.virtusertable.owm
Fri Aug  1 15:53:25 2008 - [25492] (xxx.xx.35.98) dperkins - update /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/etc/maps/etc.mail.virtusertable.owm


What can be causing this?

Thanks

there could be many reasons for taking high cpu load. I am not familiar with this backup method. Could you please post "speedybackend" here. Is this a perl script ?

Please also post your system configuration.

actually i got this resolved just to update. the script that was causing the problem was associated with openwebmail. I just reinstalled openwebmail and it fixed the problem but I'm still not sure what caused it in the first place. I do know the script was hanging when users tried to use openwebmail and it would not let them authenticate. Because of this the processes were stacking up on each other causing the high CPU load.
