[Dxspider-support] Cluster Hang

[Bela Markus]

Hi Mike,

the leading number is the standard UNIX time interpreted as seconds 
elapsed from January 1st, 1970.

I don't think your issue is related to SUSE. The very high CPU load 
usually caused by corrupted dupe and/or user file, same happened to me 
also after a migration to new hardware. Delete dupe first and restart 
spider. If you are changing distribution, for server I strongly advice 
CentOS.

Yes, a chat.

Regards... Béla
