System Crash Troubleshooting

[Tim Alberts]

Here's another whacky thing about the system I'm currently running that's got these session messages.

The system logger is restarting every hour?

# cat /var/log/messages | grep syslog
Feb 26 04:02:06 msi2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Feb 26 05:00:03 msi2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Feb 26 06:00:03 msi2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Feb 26 07:00:03 msi2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Feb 26 08:00:03 msi2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Feb 26 09:00:03 msi2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Feb 26 10:00:03 msi2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Feb 26 11:00:03 msi2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
Feb 26 12:00:03 msi2 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.


I don't see this happening on my stable systems.  There is a major problem going on, anyone got some hints or ideas?
