We suspect a cron process interacting badly with another running process, but it's impossible to prove. The machine reboots before the offending process can exit, so process accounting isn't giving us clues. The machine does run a daemon process for a user, which prepares HTML in response to requests from a CGI script (it's the back end to his web site). This is moving to another machine today, and I'll look eagerly to see if the reboots follow it. Is there any way to get more data on what's going on when the machine reboots? Any clues about the synching disks situation? Nat
