[Plug] my machine decided to randomly reboot itself ??


Okay, I'm concerned.  I've experienced hard drive crashes & power
outages... but this time my computer decided to just randomly reboot
itself at 5:08am ??

darxus   tty8                          Thu Nov 25 06:16   still logged in
reboot   system boot  2.2.13           Thu Nov 25 05:08          (01:13)
darxus   tty6                          Wed Nov 24 21:46 - 23:16  (01:30)
darxus   tty5                          Wed Nov 24 20:59 - 23:17  (02:17)
darxus   pts/1        207.106.241.14   Wed Nov 24 12:12 - down   (16:53)
darxus   pts/2        207.106.241.14   Wed Nov 24 11:06 - 12:09  (01:03)

(The last 2 are me from work)

It's like I rolled over on the ctrl-alt-del keys in the middle of the
night.  That's actually seriously my best guess right now. (my keyboard's
on my bed)

This is disturbing me (enough to have me up at this time of morning
concious enough to post email).

In /etc/syslog.conf, one of the lines is:

*.*     -/var/log/syslog.all

In /var/log/syslog.all, it says that at 05:06:33, my machine decided to
switch to runlevel 6.  According to inittab...

grep "level 6" /etc/inittab
# Runlevel 6 is reboot.

At 05:08:09 it started booting.

I included the socks request from my irc server just to show that the line
before the runlevel 6 was unrelated -- that socks request is pretty
normal.

So what does it look like ?  a ctrl-alt-del ?  a shutdown -r now ?  btw,
in my /etc/inittab:

# What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed.
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now

I think that would shutdown instantly without logging that it was
switching to runlevel 6, corect ?

I definately did not roll over on my keyboard & accidently hit "shutdown
-r now".  

I guess I'm going to have to try rebooting my computer a few different
ways to see what the logs look like.  

Argh.

I'm going to try to go back to sleep now....
