Hi, After an uneventful reboot I performed last week, one of my FreeBSD servers has begun rebooting every 24 hours. I have looked at the logs and have not noticed error messages pertaining to this weird behavior. I have also found since then that if I reboot the machine myself, the machine will reboot on its own exactly 24 hours after _my_ manual reboot, and will continue to do so every 24 hours. I'm pretty much at a loss here as to what is going on. I put a "catchall" line in my /etc/syslog.conf: *.* all.log in the hopes that I could find some helpful message indicating why the machine was rebooting, but to no avail. As far as I can tell, no 'reboot' command is issued before the machine restarts (at least there is no indication in syslog). The fact that this occurs exactly (plus or minus 5 minutes) every 24 hours really baffles me. Any suggestions? Is there anywhere else I can check on the system to try and find helpful error/informational messages? Thanks, -Martin P.S. The server is running FreeBSD-4.4 STABLE. -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
