Specifically, I think the problem is with find. I had this exact same problem a long time ago. Are you running popper? I found that when the 'find' part of the /etc/daily is running and popper requests come in, good bye system. It was very easily reproducing (just run /etc/daily anytime on heavily popped system). I finally moved all popper stuff to it's own machine (which is recommended anyways) and commented out parts of /etc/daily. > > >From time to time, even when I perform a find manually (though more > rarely by this method than by cron)--say, for example, > > find / -name text.txt -print > > the machine will pause for a moment or two, and then reboot itself. Yes! You got it! I'm really curious to know if you do have popper (the qualcom version) running. The messages I got just before these reboots were always a popper request, and sometimes when I was at the machine during the reboot popper would be identified as the culprit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Du Gaue - rdugaue@calweb.com http://www.calweb.com President, CalWeb Internet Services Inc.
