Php keeping cpu at 50% and 1 load?
-
I have had my install of Pfsense running for a few weeks now and have not changed any setting recently, but i have all of a sudden increase in tempertures, and looked into it, seeing that when performing the top command, that php is using most of the processor, keeping the load at 1.0 or a little bit higher, and the cpu around 50-55% usage during idle when it used to be around 1-7% usage when idle and use
Top command result
$ top

A common cause of high CPU usage like this is opening the dashboard on some client somewhere and forgetting to close it. Though that would not usually be for more than a day. ;)
