Do you have a UPS attached? init will shut down if it recieves SIGPWR from a UPS. Do you have smartd installed? I'm not that familiar with it but I could imagine that a hard drive failure might cause the daemon to initiate a shutdown. Try turning on process accounting. The Debian package is named "acct". I'm not sure about Suse. The command "accton" will enable accounting. You can see what commands have been run with "lastcomm". Try "lastcomm init" to see who last ran init and when. Corey
