A server of mine (10.1) is "spontaneusly" rebooting. This is not a power failure/panic/crash/whatever, since it properly shuts down. I suspect someone is pushing the power button, but I have no physical way to check. Problem is, this is not reported in the logs. I vaguely remember older FreeBSD versions did this once, but I might be wrong; I cannot check on this box (100km away), but I tried on another one and, to my surprise, the fact that I pressed the power button was NOT logged. Is there any way to enable this? Maybe I'm dumb, but I looked for this and found nothing. bye & Thanks av.
