[SunHELP] help for our server running slow!

[shivraj yadav]

Thanks for responding Steve. BTW, by slow i meant that anything i do on that 
server takes a long while to respond. No, there are no DNS issues .. since 
the response is the same even if i "telnet" to its IP-ADDRESS. In fact this 
server was working properly a while go & its response was also good.. but 
somehow since yest the condition seem to have deteriorated.

After telnettingn .. even an "ls" command takes a looong time to give its 
result... the satistics which i sent u shows that there is some "paging" & 
swapping" occurrung .. but im not sure abt it.. I dont know how to confirm 
that.. also the "df-k" shows satisfactory result.

Pls let me know if u have any inputs?

Thank you once again..

Raj
