A: Check mytop for any long running or memory intensive processes. Then restart Mysql anyway.

Q: Come on, I can't even get on the machine it's so slow.

A: Press the power button. Then press it again.

Q: But I live a prohibitive distance from Memphis!

A: Give me (Kev) a phone call or an email.

Q: Actually, when I said Mysql was slow, what I meant was I can't even get the web site to load.

A: That's unfortunate. Try one of our mirrors at http://gn.genetics.ucla.edu or http://genenetwork.helmholtz-hzi.de. Also see answer to the previous question.

Q: And by web site I meant email.

A: The mail server is nb.utmem.edu. See my sendmail article for a few things to check for on that machine.
