Since I only got one answer, I'm resending this in the hope that
others will respond.
I maintain a small hobby website running on FreeBSD 5.4. I'm
pasting in the dmesg.boot at the end of this post so you can see
the hardware.
In the past week, the server has rebooted three times, and I can't
find any explanation for it in the logs. I *suspect* these might
be "mistakes" by the ISP's techs (or possibly the UPS isn't really
working as it should), but I want to rule out other possible
explanations before I talk to them.
What are the possible causes of spontaneous reboots? And what
artifacts would be left behind that might indicate the source of
the problem? Are there any utilities I can use to monitor the
system and possibly discover the source of the problem? Any
special files or logs in unusual places that might give me a clue?
Set it up to record the kernel crash dump when it crashes so you can
see what it says...
