It took an hour to reboot? Or is that time before you noticed it had
shut down? You either have very little running, or your logging is tuned
way down. What distro is it? Some distros log more to /var/log/syslog
than /var/log/messages, some more to messages, and some have no syslog
at all. syslog.conf will tell all and of course it is very configurable.
That is the time before I realized that there was a problem.
I am running Suse Pro 9.2. My syslog has the following set:
# # save the rest in one file # *.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages
A random uninitiated shutdown would almost certainly be a hardware problem, but if as you see above init is switching to runlevel 0, then _something_ has told it to do so (unless perhaps init decided on its own)
What might tell my server to shutdown? Why would init decide this on it's own? Did init grow a conscience? Does this maybe smell of a hacker's job?
I now can't keep the server running for more then a half hour before it dies again.
Thank you for your help, Kenneth [EMAIL PROTECTED]
