Re: [cobalt-security] raq3 keeps restarting itself

["Mez" <mez@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

No the server is not connected to reboot device - when it reboots it seems
to come back straight away so i dont think anything is overheating. Im not
sure what the CPU temp was, but the load was very load. Is there a log file
where i can check the CPU temp?

Also there always seems to be:

Apr 13 19:21:20 bobcat syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

Just before the reboot, could that have anything to do with it?

thanks
-John
