hosted machine and load average

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

I can write a simple script which will detect if a process goes crazy
and kill it/restart the service, thats not the issue..

The issue is about investigating a rebooted machine after a huge load,
for example: lets say it's not your well taken care machine but it's
your friends small web server and he had to reboot it and now he wants
to know why it happened.
