[cobalt-users] Qube2 Crashes without obvious cause

[Malcolm McLeary <mmcleary@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

I have a Qube2 which was doing fine, but is now "crashing" for no apparent
reason.

Looking in the current and previous logs (i.e /var/log/messages) it would
appear that this server has been restarted a few times in recent weeks,
however the owner only told me about it today after it was DOA (dead on
arrival at work).

Nov 14 09:21:32 microserver syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

Nov 17 13:12:05 microserver kernel: IPX Portions Copyright (c) 1995 Caldera
Nov 17 15:06:37 microserver syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

Nov 17 15:15:13 microserver proftpd[684]: FTP session closed.
Nov 17 15:46:35 microserver syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

Nov 21 01:36:16 microserver kernel: IPX Portions Copyright (c) 1995 Caldera
Nov 21 09:22:30 microserver syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

Nov 21 15:30:13 microserver proftpd[5048]: FTP session closed.
Nov 21 16:05:18 microserver syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

Nov 23 11:25:28 microserver kernel: IPX Portions Copyright (c) 1995 Caldera
Nov 23 12:50:54 microserver syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

Nov 27 14:00:12 microserver proftpd[26905]: FTP session closed.
Nov 27 15:34:01 microserver syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

Dec  4 01:45:18 microserver proftpd[3334]: FTP session closed.
Dec  4 09:18:11 microserver syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

Dec  7 01:21:17 microserver kernel: IPX Portions Copyright (c) 1995 Caldera
Dec  7 09:18:25 microserver syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

These entries are simply the last line in messages prior to the actual
restart entries (not just any syslogd  1.3-3: restart entries).

Unfortunately there is nothing unusual in the log up to the point when it
stops responding to give me any hints as to why it has "stopped".

As you will note, few have been during business hours, the others sometime
after 1am and then getting power cycled when the office opens for the day.

Any suggestions as to how to track down the real problem?

Cheers,  Malcolm
