Subject: [cobalt-users] Cron Job crashing server

Hello,
 
I have a RAQ3 with 128 MB of RAM and about 230 sites.  Every night for the past three nights its run out of resources at 4:00 AM and has to be coldbooted.  I was told by Cobalt support that it is probably related to large log files that haven't been rotated.  Cobalt support said that I could run logrotate manually but that did not seem to work.  I also commented out the split_logs program for the apache access logs because I thought that was the problem but this did not work either.
 
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?  What did you do to fix it?
 
I'm convinced the problem is one of the scripts in cron.daily.  Does anyone know what scripts I can temporarily remove from the 4:00 AM cronjob?
 
Also, is the Cobalt list still searchable by keyword?  Where is the link to the search program?
 
Thanks for your help,
