All,

I have recently upgraded a web server from SuSE 7.2 to SuSE 9.0. This went relatively painlessly, but there is now an issue with apache stopping every morning at 04:15 am.

How many log files is apache writing to (do you have quite a few virtual hosts)? Do you use SSL?

Apache doesn't restart after this and I have to do an rcapache start

It looks to me like a cron job, But where do I look to find it ? OR should I be taking this to suse-security ? I've run chrootkit and everything looks OK ?

It's logrotate as run from cron at that time. Peter
