What complete log are you looking for when all it says is signal 15 sent to rsyslogd? I've went through every log and nothing is showing a reason as to why it went down or what sent the signal 15.

That's usually the first thing I disable if there are unexpected shutdown issues like this. Does this keep the system from getting a signal 15? -----Original Message----- From: Bastian Blank [mailto:wa...@debian.org] Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2014 1:23 AM To: Justin McZeal; 746...@bugs.debian.org Subject: Re: Bug#746488: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: Random shutdowns from signal 15 Control: tag -1 moreinfo On Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 09:25:34AM -0500, Justin McZeal wrote: > It seems like we are getting random shutdowns, typically sometime between > 7-9am CST.

You disable critical parts of current x86 architecture and expect it to work? Bastian -- A little suffering is good for the soul. -- Kirk, "The Corbomite Maneuver", stardate 1514.0
