There should run every 30min a script to purge old sessions in you cron
(/etc/cron.d/ispcp)

Code:

# Look for and purge old sessions every 30 minutes
0,30 *     * * *     root   /var/www/ispcp/engine/tools/ispcpphptemp.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

If you use Debian this does maybe now work so you can try this:

Code:

# Look for and purge old sessions every 30 minutes
09,39 *     * * *     root   [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm

Quote:Is php5-cgi used to take the backups of the websites?

The Backups are not in the webroot so php5-cgi cant catch it.

Quote:does anyone know what performance influences this has when it's archiving 6gigabyte of mp3 files

You mean to Backup the 6GB ?

I rebooted my server and it's looking much better now, i just hope it stays that way...

about the backups yeah, what does it mean cpu-wise when bzip2 archives are being created of 5-6 gigabyte folders ?

greetings,
and thanks for the support!
