[EHPweb] ppicker on eids servers.

[Christopher J Bidwell]

I just think it's strange that all of the eids servers seemed to have been 
giving me all the same responses in zabbix, going into an up-down state, 
etc.  Without having access (away from any computer) to them due to being 
on A/L, I felt helpless.  Has nqs been running for quite some time now or 
has it recently just been installed?

It is the NetQuakes  acquisition software. It is located in 
~ppicker/bin/nqs. There are several components to the acquisition system, 
so if you can provide more information about what is using the most CPU we 
can determine if something is awry.
 
The NQ software waits for NetQuakes dataloggers to check in on an hourly 
basis with State-of-health information, upload earthquake data when the 
instrument triggers, and upload log files. It shouldn?t have any load on 
the machine, other to check whether a file is there or a datalogger is 
attempting to connect.  The NetQuakes dataloggers live on the Internet, so 
the server needs to be on a public facing machine.

All, 

Can anyone tell me what nqs is and why it is running on the eids servers. 
It seems to be using approx 99% cpu consistantly.
