[Dxspider-support] DXSpider on CentOS 7.x?

[Michael Carper, Ph.D.]

This evening... I had about an hour of regular disconnects for users...
watched the server processor hit 70%... eventually, the node restarted
completely... meanwhile, the server was not restarted.

I will not have much hair soon... I'm gonna pull it out.
