Again like last time during the cron daily maint at 2am it rebooted on its own. at about 5 seconds past 2 am it showed in the logs media changed then at about 15 seconds after 2am a reboot occured. :( Oh well, just have to force myself to remember to umount the cd before I open and change cd's. BTW...are you supposed to be able to just change cd's while the drive is mounted and all is well? Or should you umount the drive first. Keith.
