[Over Load]

Thank you Guys for taking the time to have a look at this. The way the script is setup it does timestamp the post and would not check it again until the next day. We did run it on a demand basis but we could have made a cron job to check it once a day. The problem I think we faced it was the first time running and it had so many links to check and bin the dead ones and send auto pms to the original poster the server went nuts and over loaded. I stripped out the pms but it was still too server intense. I would like to have an Opportunity to rewrite it and maybe set up a time where we can test with your permission and get your feedback if this script is at all plausable and server friendly.

[Over Load]

Hello I have recently had a problem with an overload on the server I was using a php script to automatically check file sharing sites to see if the links were still active. Here is the original problem we received from the host.

please remove the following hack automated Link checker!

this is causing over load on the server that was the reason host suspeneded the site.

this php file is causing the trouble vbbot.php

here is what the host said

Your site appears to be running a PHP script which is using large amounts of CPU and is continually running until we kill off the process. We have disabled the script /home/xxxxxxxxx/public_html/forums/vbbot.php by chmoding it to 0 to stop the issue. If you could please contact us when you believe you've solved the problem it would be much appreciated.

The file was deleted and uploaded again as autobot.php

I have disabled the script yet again and activated your account. Activation of this script again will result in termination of your account.

We have gotten rid of this but I was wondering if you might have a look at this script and see how we can make it useable we do not want to get booted from you we very much enjoy being a part of your orginization.
