At the rate of about one a day, an "rpmq" process is getting stuck. These compound until the server is out of memory. I thought it was strictly due to the failed system update from a while back, but that might not be the case.
This morning, I rebooted the server, shut off MySQL and Apache, and attempted to run the system update again. I think there's something wrong with the rpm package that's currently installed. However, the update ran for well over an hour without a status update, so ultimately I killed it and rebooted the server again.
I'm still trying to find out what can be done to get the system updated. In the meanwhile, I think I'm going to have to kill stray rpmq processes on a regular basis to keep things running smoothly.
I've had memory problems on the server almost since the beginning, which is probably what I get for trying to host on the cheap. Never had significant problems when I leased whole servers, rather than virtual space. Hopefully I'll come up with a permanent solution that doesn't involve moving, because that's usually a weekend project and something I generally dread.
