Hi - This is the first Linux server I have ever built with an installation of Asterisk@Home 2.7. For development I have been running on VMWare on an XP box and sustained no crashes or reboots. After moving Asterisk to it's own server I am experiencing daily crashses (around 4am) and I'm not quite sure what the problem is, nor am I sure where exactly to look for logs of any errors prior and during the crash. During the crash there should be nothing running so I'm not sure why it crashes at this time (perhaps some system job that is running at this time?). My hardware is: AMD Athlon 64bit 3200 CPU, 1 gig memory, 100gb hd and a gigabit NIC card. The BIOS is set with defaults. Many thanks, Al. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Al, try /var/log/asterisk/full that's where asterisk typically stores its logs. Might be a good place to start to read into what's going on.

Are you sure you have enough swap space configured? Roshan -- http://roshan.info Being normal is driving me crazy.

You'll probably need a bootable CD such as the Fedora rescue CD. Otherwise, take a look in /var/log for the system logs. the main log is messages. The asterisk logs are in /var/log/asterisk. Bob...
