Hi All,

I'm running OSX Server 10.3.9 on a Cube (nice and quiet, I just need web so no real horsepower necessary).

In the last few days, it's been restarting by itself. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with me (it's headless, and I leave it alone).

Any ideas? Hasn't been hacked, has it? Can someone point me to a log that might tell me what's going on? (can't find one that has the details I'm looking for, but I'm no expert in OSX Server)

Has it been modded in any way? Is there anything in console.log?
It could be overheating or the external power supply could be faulty or have a bad connection.

Hi seanc, thanks for replying.

The Cube hasn't been modded (I've thought about it, even running just a web server is a stretch for the poor thing!). console.log doesn't have anything. It doesn't feel overly hot, but the power supply could be an issue (I can't reach it at the moment, it's behind a lot of stuff, though well ventilated).

Thanks for those pointers, I appreciate the time you've taken.

Do you have anything set in energy saver that may be making it shut down and turn back on?
