OK, but those messages are yesterday, May 12th, at 11:42 in the morning. Being that you started this thread on May 12th at 9:35 (when I received the first email anyway) the actual lockup presumably occurred earlier. I believe you're in the correct file, or set of files. Depending on how your logging works (what logger, what options) generally the logs roll over into successive files. (*.1, *.2, *.3, etc) Assuming you have some idea when the lockup occurred you want to look for what was going on just before that. Do the logs hit a date/time and stop? Or do they go on logging with lots of similar or repeating messages for hours or days? Do double check that you log into a directory that doesn't run out of space once a month. That could cause problems also. HTH, MArk
