I have my own server where I hosted my sites. I got this email ...

IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email. This is cPanel cpuwatch on server.xxxx.com! While processing, the cpu has been maxed out for more than a 6 hour period. The current load/uptime line on the server at the time of this email is 19:49:33 up 85 days, 1:46, 0 users, load average: 12.16, 11.94, 11.92

In cpanel I looked Daily Process Log, and I received the following list, Top Processes:

vukcrven        61.0    [php] <defunct>

vukcrven    18.5    /usr/bin/php /home/vukcrven/public_html/index.php

What is problem? And How can I solve problem?

You should check the server to see why the load is so high and take steps to lower the load. If you want stats to continue to run even with a high load; Edit /var/cpanel/cpanel.config and change extracpus to a number larger then 0 (run /usr/local/cpanel/startup afterwards to pickup the changes).

it looks like spam assasin (spamd) is using up a large amount of resources (which it has a tendancy of doing)

Another item is a cron job running for Wordpress, if you are not using wordpress I suggest you remove the plugin.

If you have shell access you can restart SpamAssasin using: /scripts/restartsrv_spamd

If not, contact your provider's support and they can do it for you.

What are the specs of the cPanel account?
