Hi, how is the best way to find out a PHP script that is using excessive Apache resources in a server with PHP in fastcgi mode? Thanks.

mod_status should do. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_status.html

You should see this via Linux top command as long as PHP is running with the Linux username (php-fcgi).

Yes, that's the best way. But how I can do to get a snapshot when there is a high load average? Thanks.

Nope. It's one of my biggest complaints with FastCGI because it just shows the process as PHP. Whereas with like suPHP it would show the process AND what PHP file was being executed. suPHP: user 99.9% php /home/user/public_html/random.php FastCGI: user 99.9% php I've never found a way to make FastCGI show what it's executing...
