[wp-hackers] WordPress plugin inspections

[Jamie Currie]

New topic to spice things up.

One of my dedicated servers recently starting giving me problems with 
GIT. I'd ssh in to pull the latest version of a plugin and would get 
error messages about the resource being unavailable or whatever. Tracked 
it down to too many processes running, specifically calls to 
admin-ajax.php.

Googling turns up lots of threads on the topic, but none that has really 
helped nail down exactly what's going on. If I select one of the 
processes hitting admin-ajax and kill it, they all disappear and 
everything goes back to working.

It seems that auto-save could be the culprit, though I've changed the 
auto-save time period to much longer than stock. I have a sneaking 
suspicion that it's a theme that was just installed on a site (multisite 
network) which has its own page builder framework.

So, anyone have a suggestion as to how I might track down where the 
request to admin-ajax is originating? grep gives me the list of 
potential candidates, but that would only help if I were to start 
disabling / enabling things and then watching to see what happens -- not 
an option on a live network of sites.
