This is the bootup message and should be replicated in /var/log/messages. Take a look at the entries above for clues as to why your server is restarting. The last log entry before the dmesg output should be something along the lines of "Kernel log daemon terminating." and should be proceeded by evidence of exiting processes. If not, you probably have power or hardware problems. If you do see evidence of a graceful restart, at least you know about when it's happening. Start looking through /etc/cron.* and /etc/crontab for jobs that run around that time. > I do > know where the logs are on the system. > Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
