Hi All, 

Thanks to all of you that replied so promptly to my question. However I
think I failed to outline the situation clearly enough so with the responses
so far in mind...

Question was: Is it possible for FreeBSD to shut itself down and restart for
no reason?

- The "new server in question has been running at another facility without
any problems for about 4 months so I am assuming it is "burned in" and
stable.

- The logs (var/log/messages, /var/log/httpd-error.log) do not show any
obvious issues such as kernel panics, just a hard restart (/ not dismounted
correctly)

- As far as I can tell the box has not been exploited -- if someone we
restarting the machine via software then / would dismount correctly.


Further thoughts, suggestions?

TIA


Steve

Previous question in full:

My machine was restarted last night and my hosting company claims they did
not touch the server or have any problems. This has been going of for a few
months now -- intermittent restarts that no one claims responsibility for.

This is a new machine with the latest OS (4.7) so I can't blame a faulty
power supply or something like -- I have more fans than Britney in the
server, for HD and CPU so I don't think it's a temp problem.
