Once more, I suspect the issue I am facing is by my doing something
wrong, but any assistance would be appreciated.
I run Motion on Ubuntu 20.04, with multiple cameras, of which one is a
USB camera (which may not be relevant).
I run logging - at level 9 (all).
On a regular basis, the software crashes. Ideally, I would like to
understand why, and eliminate the problem - if that isn't possible, I
would like it to automatically restart on crashing, but I don't know how
to do that, so any help would be appreciated.
The log provides the following as an example - in the seconds leading up
to the crash:-
[0:motion] [ERR] [ALL] [Oct 23 10:13:39] motion_watchdog: Thread 7 -
Watchdog timeout. Trying to do a graceful restart
[0:motion] [ERR] [ALL] [Oct 23 10:13:49] motion_watchdog: Thread 7 -
Watchdog timeout did NOT restart, killing it!
[5:ml5:CAMLOC] [NTC] [ALL] [Oct 23 10:13:49] mlp_actions: End of
event 18
[5:ml5:CAMLOC] [INF] [EVT] [Oct 23 10:13:50] event_new_video: Source
FPS 15
[5:ml5:CAMLOC] [INF] [ENC] [Oct 23 10:13:50] ffmpeg_set_quality:
libx264 codec vbr/crf/bit_rate: 28
[5:ml5:CAMLOC] [NTC] [EVT] [Oct 23 10:13:50] event_newfile: File of
type 8 saved to: [VIDEO].mkv
[5:ml5:CAMLOC] [NTC] [ALL] [Oct 23 10:13:50] motion_detected: Motion
detected - starting event 19
[5:ml5:CAMLOC] [NTC] [ALL] [Oct 23 10:13:54] mlp_actions: End of
event 19
Any guidance would be most appreciated.
Many thanks,

Also check syslog and dmesg - there may be hardware related errors
