Hi freebsd experts,
I have three dedicated web servers running freebsd with apache and php.
Watching "top" during heavy load I see that the state of all httpd processes suddenly is set to "accept" whereafter the overall cpu utilization drops to 0%. This results in very slow response times for our users. After 10-60 seconds everything turns back to normal. This cycle repeats itself.
My question is, what does "accept" mean? I've been googling without finding an answer.
However, I did find some indications of what it could mean, namely that the process is waiting for some io resource. If this is the case, is there a way to find out which resource a given process is waiting for?
Thanks in advance!
