but after using this modified script, the server would at random intervals cease to function, not answering ping, not showing anything in the console. No pertinent log entries were made at the time either.
You mean the console would be locked up and not responding ? Or did you mean you just couldn't find any network errors/logs on the console ?
If it's locked up completely without a kernel panic or any other kind of error logged, I would tend to suspect a hardware problem.
