Ping Raz
#1
Raz, We need your help re slow server at peak times.
They are aware of the prob and have asked us to do a Ping and trace route when slow (on command prompt). And then email them the results.

They have had other complaints from that server box so in a way that is good news.
They said they are working on it.

Can you look into that maybe tonight at peak time when we have the probs.
Much appreciated.

Sure can mate!! I have knocked up a small script (Batch file) that people can use.

it can be downloaded from here: www.users.on.net/~razz0r/busa/prt.bat

very small file. Here is whats in it:
**NOTE: Everytime you run this it will overwrite the log file from the last time you ran it - I could change this so it dont & logs time&date - could also have it log the PC its coming from but I see that as a security/priv issue so its not done.**

Quote:ping www.australian-hayabusa-club.com > c:\busaclub.log **this line does a ping to the website & logs what happends - all logs will be put in the "C" drive with the name busaclub.log**

tracert www.australian-hayabusa-club.com > c:\rtbusaclub.log **This one does a IP trace route to the website from your PC & shows how fast or slow it is**

Trace complete.

so this is what the file does - simple as we that.

if people could download it & run it when the forum is slow for them & emal myself or you DJ with their log files (Remember to rename the files when you save them so you know where they have come from) then we can start figuring out whats happening.

Also if the ISP can give me a ssh shell to the linux server I can jump on & run a command called "top" which can show me how busy the server is with disk I/O, CPU & Memory - even network - but this is the first step & what the ISP support will want.

excellent Raz.
Thanks for that.
Maybe we use the top command if we still have no joy?
See what happens tonight at peak hour.

1000 thanks, I knew this would be right up your ally.

np dude, forum slowed a little just before & ping times were up by a little.. but not much.

if it turns out the network is fine could be a Database or server issue.

how big is the Database now for the forum??
