Very quick update. My web server has been acting a bit wonky as of late. Irregular CPU usage, etc. WordPress has been updated, also the server has been upgraded as well. Both additional ram and swap space (Thanks Kev!). Lastly a new kernel has been installed. With luck this will be the end of the crazyness.
Cross your fingers. I will know more over the next couple days.
Shit! looks like it lasted longer than 25 minutes.
it died shortly after though
