I know what cron is, what updatedb is and what they have got to do with
system load. We had been monitoring the server for almost one week with
it set to mail us with w, ps aux, top three lines from top, free memory
and all every minute during the time from 3:30am to 4:30 am, server time.
What about system logs? I don't think load on the server will cause it to reboot. In most cases it will just remain in a hanged state, waiting for human intervention and interpretation of any kernel dumps available on the screen.
I remember when I had a problem with an intel 1010 which was
suppossedly "rebooting", but was in fact receiving a "hard reboot" from support guys when they found it in a hanged state. There was a problem with the hard disk. Do not assume that performance issues are always software related. There are defective hardware components out there.
