My server restarted

Hello ! :)

I've noticed a "high" server load (5) and slowness on my board. Then the board no longer responded and I got a 404 error page. Then I could reach the board again.

Wondering if this was normal or not, I went in WHM and looked at Apache status and I saw this :

Current Time: Tuesday, 19-Feb-2008 08:47:42 CST


Restart Time: Tuesday, 19-Feb-2008 08:30:01 CST


Parent Server Generation: 270


Server uptime: 17 minutes 41 seconds



Does it mean the server restarted ?

Thank you ! :)

Now I have this :

Current Time: Tuesday, 19-Feb-2008 11:26:58 CST


Restart Time: Tuesday, 19-Feb-2008 10:30:01 CST


Parent Server Generation: 273


Server uptime: 56 minutes 57 seconds



EDIT :

It seems like it restarts each hour :

Current Time: Tuesday, 19-Feb-2008 11:31:32 CST


Restart Time: Tuesday, 19-Feb-2008 11:30:03 CST


Parent Server Generation: 274


Server uptime: 1 minute 29 seconds



What do you think of it ?

Thank you ! :)

Looks like apache is restarting hourly on your server. You might want to check your cron to see if there are any apache restarts in there.

OK - I'm going to open a ticket then, because I'm not very conversant with all this.

Thank you ! :)

If there is a cron entry to restart your Apache, and your host has no explanation, I suggest you run a 'rootkit hunter' on the server.

Random restarts are fun though! It adds a little excitement to your day.

Will my server be up? Is apache restarting now? Let's see!

If there's a cron entry, it's also a sign of an IRC spambot :(
