Well, they are definitely not useless, although their use would be greatly enhanced if you had preserved the original linebreaks. In the future, please avoid munging log excerpts like that - it makes them horribly difficult to read. Anyway, this log excerpt seems to indicate some things going seriously wrong on your server. I'd recommend starting with checking for simple reasons for general malfunctions, such as: - - insufficient free space, particularly on the /var and /tmp filesystems - - hard disk errors - - memory errors - - automatic update gone wrong - - system compromise / unauthorized access HTH T. - -- Tilman Schmidt Abteilungsleiter Technik - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phoenix Software GmbH Tel. +49 228 97199 0 Adolf-Hombitzer-Str. 12 Fax +49 228 97199 99 53227 Bonn, Germany www.phoenixsoftware.de Geschäftsführer: W.
