Hiyall, Every-so-often, our main machine odyssey reboots for no apparent reason at the time. Putting some basic crons across the system shows usually a runaway process, such as: Executed: Sat Apr 25 03:14:18 WST 1998 last pid: 28916; load averages: 1.10, 0.69, 0.37 03:14:18 72 processes: 2 running, 70 sleeping Mem: 4644K Active, 23M Inact, 20M Wired, 7192K Cache, 7575K Buf, 6412K Free Swap: 201M Total, 19M Used, 182M Free, 9% Inuse PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 28857 news 105 0 220K 400K RUN 1:34 95.77% 95.10% sed My questions: 1. Is there any way to determine why this happens, 2. Is there any method of configuring the system to automatically terminate such processes, and, 3. When the system reboots, fsck sits at an error message saying root filesystem is not clean, cannot mount. Despite fsck running across the drives a bootup. How can I overcome this and have the system reboot normally?
