Greetings,
My server rebooted yesterday evening, I would like to know the reason for the same. The /var/log/message has the following lines.
Apr 9 16:08:13 newserver named[5358]: lame server resolving '189.187.106.202.in-addr.arpa' (in '106.202.in-addr.arpa'?):202.106.196.28#53 Apr 9 17:01:01 newserver su(pam_unix)[29172]: session opened for user bin by (uid=0) Apr 9 17:01:01 newserver su(pam_unix)[29172]: session closed for user bin Apr 9 17:18:08 newserver init: cannot execute "/sbin/shutdown" Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

Before the reboot I had renamed shutdown to some other name so that by mistake I do not use the command to shutdown the server. What I noticed is that the system time was 17:18 when the shutdown was attempted by init, but when the server came online again the time in the log is shown as 16:07, is this due to a system (software) crash? The uptime gives an uptime of 9 hours right now, while it was 180+ days before.
SYSTEM INFO : RHL 8.0, AMD 1.3G 512MB RAM.
Bye.
