How do I find and kill high-CPU processes?

If you notice your CPU usage is going into the red, the easiest way to find out what is taking a lot of CPU time is to login to the VPS as root and run "top" command.

You can kill any process by using the "kill" command along with the process ID (or PID) for example:

kill -9 34112
