[asterisk-users] New Asterisk server crashes daily

[Al Lougher]

I have 969mb total mem with 780mb allocated as swap. I also checked the messages log and the logs in the log/asterisk folder and there is nothing.
   
  Now, I did look in the cron log file and saw this at the time of the crash (crash was at 04:02).
   
  Jul 11 04:02:01 asterisk1 crond[3876]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.daily)
Jul 11 04:02:05 asterisk1 anacron[4317]: Updated timestamp for job `cron.daily' to 2006-07-11
Jul 11 08:06:54 asterisk1 crond[2407]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0)

  I've no idea what could be causing the crash. I guess I'll check agian when it happens again tonight.
   
  Thanks.

Your comment about it happening around 4am leads me to think it might be the 
default daily-scheduled cron jobs somehow affecting you. Are you sure 
you have enough swap space configured?
