Here's a chunk of the top
from my server:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
18878 www-data 20 0 200m 13m 4704 S 0 0.2 0:00.07 apache2
12374 root 20 0 197m 9460 4480 S 0 0.1 21212906w apache2
9136 root 20 0 79100 3488 2716 S 0 0.0 54518724d sshd
I know the TIME+ means the total CPU time the task has used since it started. But in the above output, I simply couldn't understand what 21212906w
and 54518724d
mean? some considerable no of processes are showing the TIME+ with w
and d
prefixed.
What does this mean? Is the server in trouble?
Just to let you know - the server uptime
is 4days.
EDIT:
- I can guess these refer week and days. If so why is it so large considering the uptime?
- The server has 8 cores.
