Hi All,
Early last month I emailed the ubuntu-uk mailing list about the Ubuntu server I
own that occasionally makes itself unavailable on the network (though it does
respond to ping).
To avoid having to physically switch the server off and on, Neil Greenwood on
this list suggested I try using the Magic SysRq key on the keyboard.
Well, the server did go down this morning at about midday (after remaining up
over the Christmas/New Year holiday). Around 2pm, I tried the Magic SysRq key
and it worked -- the server restarted itself without me having to physically
switch it on and off.
Neil suggested that in order to track down the cause of this problem, I should
look in the log files, in particular dmesg or messages or syslog. I have
looked in these files but cannot see anything that paricularly stands out --
but suspect that I'm probably missing something. If I posted these files to
this list, I wonder would anyone be able to give them a quick scan to see if
there's anything obvious? Or is there something in these log files that should
not be made public?
Happy New Year!
Alex
