Re: FreeBSD-7 reboots hourly

[Bhasker C V]

There could be memory issues.

I had a system which used to periodically reboot.

Eventually found out that after some time, when a part of memory
 is accessed, due to the faulty memory chip, the system crashes
 and reboots.

Try swapping the memory banks and boot the system. If the faulty chip
 falls in the memory range where the system is booting up, then you will
 be able to see that the booting fails !

OR

Try to replace the memory cards and try to run the system.

Hello dear colleagues.



2 days I have strange behaviour on my 7.0-RELEASE-p3 server.
It started to reboot once an hour.
No any suspicious task in crontab, nothing strange in /var/log.
Just silent reboot.
I have no physical access to server - only remote one.



Question is: what could it be?
How to find what send computer to reboot?


Just extra information: I had such stuff before - installworld helped me 
for one week,

now it appears again :(



Opened services/sockets are:
nobody   proftpd647   1  tcp4   *:21  *:*
root sshd   845   4  tcp4   *:22  *:*
postfix  smtpd  5115  6  tcp4   *:25  *:*

root syslogd461   9  udp4   *:514 *:*



also on local interface (lo0) I have apache, postgrey, spamassasin.



I need some pieces of advice what to do with it and what could it be.



Thanks in advance,
Alexey A. Ukhov


P.S.: I mean hourly: I start top and just wait. last what I see is: 
0:59:59 uptime


Try to disable some cronjobs that run hourly.
I think it is something within a cronjob.

Johan

Re: Sound volume in Totem

[Bhasker C V]

Hi,

 If volume in mplayer is high, then can you give us what is the -ao you
are using ? probably that could be a clue ...

 Hi,
 
 Both in 6.x and now in 7 I've had issues with the sound volume in Totem. 
 When I use vlc then nothing's wrong, but in Totem even with all the 
 different available volumes turned to the max, I get much less 
 volume/sound. Previously (6.x on a different machine) I could go into 
 mplayer and turn it up there which would in turn increase volume of 
 Totem, but I don't use mplayer on this new machine and never have. Seems 
 like some global setting is interfering. Even the Gnome Configuration 
 Editor shows nothing (that I can find that is). I've googled but to no 
 avail - anybody??
