I'm running a cron job on a direct admin server that runs every minute and every minute the connections/processes almost triples to about 90 from about 30. They die right away and they drop back down to about 30.

I'm using the scheduler cron job
* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
What would be creating all these connections?
I also have a problem when restarting the queue with php artisan queue:restart. A sleeping process starts that lasts forever, crashing the server eventually so I have to manually kill it.
