THanks for the reply Fyi, the web pages and everything worked just fine after a re-boot of the server, but it hung again
No software damage was detected in the gui or any warnings I know of but I have to double check What do I physically check for, though, via telnet (it is in cali I am in new york) to look for anything that can cause a hang or memory loss or what not or maybe a script/software that can cause such an error Are there commands one can type or anything software related I can check into? The machine is in good hands and the only 'prompt' noticed by the person that reboots is 'kernel loading....' and I was told it took a bit longer to re-start. Should I create a cron job to re-start this machine daily at 2 am? I wonder what can be done. It just hangs...freezes...it boots normally and when up everything functions correctly it seems.
