My Slackware 11 keeps shutting itself down but I can't see why.
In /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages there are messages from apache and samba saying they're shutting themselves down because they've been told to but I can't see a reason anywhere.
It happens fairly randomly anywhere from once every ten minutes to once every several hours. It reboots all by itself and continues running.
It's not a temperature problem as the system is way below the BIOS alarm temperatures.
Any ideas as to how to diagnose this or places to look?
Maybe the OS has temperature levels set (checking the sensors) which are lower than the BIOS alarm levels?
Another place it might be worth looking is the automatic power management and whether you might be having power supply problems.
You could look through /etc/inittab to see if there's anything special that could trigger a jump to RL6.
But it's a bit of a puzzle!
Best wishes, Ted.
