Re: Daily reboots...

2004-10-14 Thread Steve Bertrand
 Hello all,

 I don't know why, but my system keeps restarting at about 14:00 or
 14:30 every day.  Really starting to p!ss me off.  Any ideas what
 could
 be causing this, or how I could find it?

As someone else suggested, I had a box like this late last year, and
found that when more than a normal amount of email came into the box,
clamav and SA would burn up the CPU, and it would just reboot.

Solution: I put the drive(s) into another box, and voila, problem was
solved.

Steve

I had a similar problem on 4.10 awhile back. After checking and rechecking the
hardware and swapping out power supplies, I noticed that the reboots rougly
coincided with heavy outgoing Samba traffic. I upgraded to 5.2.1 and haven't
had a problem since.

Could be internal (e.g. cron job doing something special) or external
(e.g. something else causing a massive drain on the power line at the
time, dropping the voltage supplied to your system) factors.

I've also experienced this due to CPU overheating; but it wasn't in
the afternoon.  An early morning cron job doing backups via tar
and scp over a network caused the CPU (which had a dying fan)
to overheat and the system shut down as a result, as near as we
could tell in post-mortem.  BIOS was apparently set to allow it
to restart, and loads during the workday never peaked enough
to tax the CPU as much as the nightly backup.  Something of an
interesting detective case (for us).
