Re: [cobalt-users] crashes

This is the 2nd time in 2 weeks (seems about one week ago the 1st went
down), its a brand new server running only...3 weeks...it has about 230
clients moved off a raq2

the 1st crash, i was able to get into TELNET but couldnt do anything...that
may have been due to the logrotate...because i manuelly ran that before i
went to bed.

This time around, all i did was setup a few clients and that was it...went
to bed...my site alert saids it stopped responding at 3:30 am to 9:30 am

Regards
Gary
