Chuck and Chris,

Thanks for your replies.  Below is some information to your 
questions/suggestions:

Check the kernel logs (e.g., /var/log/messages, /var/log/warn), not
just the Tomcat ones.  Also, look for a JVM dump file
(hs_err_pid*.log)


I have and there is nothing in the messages file except accesses granted to 
specific workstations coming in on ssh and sync'ing to a time server.  Neither 
of these have times that correspond to the crashes.

There are no hs_err_* files anywhere on the servers.

Smells a lot like OOM killer.

Carl, you say you have a 2GiB heap. Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit
JVM? What about other large-memory processes on the same boxes? Do you
have other JVMs running or a database, etc.? Does the JVM die on any
kind of schedule?


We are running 64 bit OS's (Slackware 13.x, the latest version.)

There are two other applications running on each of the boxes: 1) the Apache 
James email server (localhost SMTP only) and 2) a small application that serves 
reports.  They are both very small (the current server shows 11GB+ free memory) 
and always survive theTomcat crashes.

These servers are only used for Tomcat (and the related James and report 
serving app.)

Not on a timed schedule but usually during high traffic periods (usually, but 
not always, as with last Friday.)

Are there normal shutdown messages in the Tomcat logs?

Regards,

Rainer
