A notification was received stating the CPU had been running at 98.6% for the post four hours!
I rebooted and had to delete Nginx because it was conflicting with Apache2. All was well for a couple of hours and the CPU usage shot back up to 100%.
Where should I start looking to try and eliminate the problem?
Run the top command from the command prompt and see what is using up the CPU
I rebooted and the server now seems ok.
If or when it happens again I will certainly try the top command.
Meanwhile I think the problem could be with the London, UK Linode sever:
Edit:
Perhaps time to try another VPS web host especially since the current Ubuntu 17.10 is no longer supported.
