Hi, I've emailed this list before regarding my Hardy Heron 8.04 server and it's worrying propensity to shut itself down.
When this happens I lose all remote access to the server, but I can still ping it and get a speedy reply. And when I go into the server room to look at the server, I can see that there seems to be a lot of activity on the hard disk (indicated by flickering lights). Unfortunately, the monitor shows "No Signal Input" and nothing I do on the keyboard has any effect. So the only option is to physically switch the server off and on. Am I right in thinking that the server has not actually shut down but has gone into some kind of low level hibernation state? Could it have taken this action as a "sensible" response to some condition? If so, what kind of event would trigger this behaviour? Is there a way of finding out from one of the many log files? Can I stop it taking this action? Many thanks for your thoughts!
