Re: System crashes for no apparent reason

rds the problem being elsewhere... Another thing that may help: If you have another system on the network, configure (r)syslog to log to the remote system. When a system crashes it may not be able to write logs locally, but often network logging still works. This may allow you to capture log entries regarding the crash itself. To diagnose a completely dead system: Does Caps Lock work? (enough to toggle the light) Does it respond to Ping? (if not Ping: how about ARP?) If it dies due to a kernel panic, you may be able to get it to automagically reboot by adding "panic=60" to the kernel command line (will make it reboot 60 seconds after a kernel panic). Obviously this will not solve the problem, but may make the system less unusable while the probelm is still ongoing... -- Karl E.

e whole of the command is right is a strategy that will save you from a lot of grief. But if you don't have .history working in your xterm, all of this is largely worthless. Don't try it with the find command and changes to it are recorded with pencil on a note pad!!! -- Paul E C
