Update:
I wish to thank everyone who replied off list and on..

I *think* I have found the problem's, well so far so good..

1) I had a php decoder for each VTEC type Warning/Watch,
and for each non-VTEC type
I had implemented a single decoder for VTEC and for non-VTEC
on my other server and decided
to implement it on this one..

2) decided to trim back what this server had in the
'FILE' action to the data I actually needed/used

3) added '-close' to the PIPE actions for the GEMPAK
decoders, it wasn't in the GEMPAK pqact.gempak
but added to be safe

so far so good..fingers crossed

There may be too many processes already running on your system by "ldm" or
all the users.

You might monitor things with "top". It's possible there is code something

like this:

A: run something
if error, goto A

Code like this is an intense loop if there error always occurs, and is very

hard go kill off, especially if "run something" spawns a new jobs.  For
scripts like this, I always put in a "sleep 2" to allow a human to get a
hold of things.

You can tell if you see the same names over and over with "top", but the
process ID changes.

If there doesn't seem to be very many, you might look around to see if your system has been hacked. Hackers will replace things like "ps" and "top" so

you can't see what really is going on.

You can always try a reboot and see if that fixes things.
