    Hello all DPers
    I was wondering what these server stats stand for
    Can someone help in deciphering it
    This is the stats displayed on my cpanel

    psrvd up
    exim (exim-4.68-1_cpanel_maildir) up
    mysql (5.0.45-community) up
    eximstats up
    cpanellogd up
    imap up
    httpd (1.3.41 (Unix)) up
    pop up
    named up
    syslogd up
    spamd up
    exim-26 up
    ftpd up
    Server Load 1.12 (2 cpus)
    Memory Used 15.9 %
    Swap Used 0 %
    Disk /dev/sda6 (/tmp) 4 %
    Disk /dev/sda7 (/home) 19 %
    Disk /dev/sda1 (/) 7 %
    Disk /dev/sda2 (/var) 10 %
    Disk /dev/sda3 (/usr) 19 %


    What do they actually stand for :confused:

    Um means you should read around a bit ;)

    psrvd means your cpanel is up and running rest is pretty self explanatory... mysql is running mail deamons spam deamon dns server (named), etc... if any of em were down it would mean you need to check the logs to see why it's down...

    It's a means to say everything is running or not. You should readup on this to familiarise yourself on what's a process and what they all do ... Google will be your friend if you want to learn on it.

    psrvd up
    exim (exim-4.68-1_cpanel_maildir) up - mailserver
    mysql (5.0.45-community) up - database
    eximstats up - mail stats
    cpanellogd up - cpanel logs
    imap up - mail API
    httpd (1.3.41 (Unix)) up - webserver
    pop up - mail
    named up - dns
    syslogd up - logs
    spamd up - spamd [antispam]
    exim-26 up - mailserver
    ftpd up - FTP server
    Server Load 1.12 (2 cpus) - Server load - how busy the server is.
    Memory Used 15.9 % - RAM/Memory - How much is used by processes/apps
    Swap Used 0 % - Backup brain [ SWAP - secondary virtual memory ]
    Disk /dev/sda6 (/tmp) 4 % - tmp area on hard drive used for temporary cache files etc
    Disk /dev/sda7 (/home) 19 % - main file storage
    Disk /dev/sda1 (/) 7 % - central file dir
    Disk /dev/sda2 (/var) 10 % - system
    Disk /dev/sda3 (/usr) 19 % - system


    Thats just a basic overview.

    However, IMO you shouldn't even be in the CPanel if you don't know what half these stats mean.

    Thanks a lot, i m of course in the cpanel, and learning a bit about server and stuff :D
    I have got a guy who looks into all those stuff, but was just curious enough to know what all this means-he is good but not able to explain always to me
