Solaris sparc? A 90 Mhz pentium will outperform them. No Sun iron will come to within 30% of the performance of a 1000 dollar Intel 1.8 gige machine. That is they why SUN, HP, COMPAQ are on their knees and will stay that way.

Perhaps the SCSI disks are revamping themselves at a certain time every day and with the time change that is now during a time when it will be noticed. Don't laugh. Some Seagates are scheduled to re-arrange their bits at 4:00 in the morning. Maybe their time is screwed up with the move.

if you login as root and go crontab -e you should get a program at 10:30 each day that is commented "slow server down so people will think the site is real busy"

the crontab file may be in /etc in solaris.

exit by ":" then "q!"

There are other ways of scheduling program on unix.. other than crontab

hmmmmmm....
