If you’re using Directadmin, you might have noticed that once a day it slows down the server. There is an easy solution to make this run without affecting too much on the server performance.
If you wanted to slow down the dataskq, edit:
/etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron
(or /etc/crontab, depending on your OS)
change:
Code:
* * * * * root /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq
to be
Code:
* * * * * root nice -n 19 /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq
Then reload/restart cron/crond. Have fun!
