  • Yes, but given the fact that there can we weeks between incidents, that is going go be a long time to be without my services.

  • That's a good idea, didn't know Docker had such capability. I will read up on that - could you give me some keywords to start on?

  • You know you are right, and I've tried. I can manually monitor but it doesn't happen just then. I don't know yet what causes it, I can only assume it's one of the Docker containers because the machine is doing nothing else.

    I am doing this to find out how often it happens, how quickly it happens, and what's at the top when it happens.

  • Thank you for these ideas, I will read up on systat+sar and give it a go.

    Also smart to have the script always running, sleeping, rather than launching it at intervals.

    I know all of this is a poor hack, and I must address the cause - but so far I have no clues what's causing it. I'm running a bunch of Docker containers so it is very likely one of them painting itself into a corner, but after a reboot there's nothing to see, so I am now starting with logging the top process. Your ideas might work better.

  • Nope, haven't. It says I have 2 GB of swap on a 16 GB RAM system, and that seems reasonable.

    Why would you recommend turning swap off?

  • This issue doesn't happen very often, maybe every few weeks. That's why I think a nightly reboot is overkill, and weekly might be missing the mark? But you are right in any case: regardless of what the cron says, the machine might never get around to executing it.

  • This insane torture is why there are post-it notes under the keyboards.

  • I see these posts everywhere, and they are friggin' annoying :-(

  • I agree. I am posting about Linux when I use it, but have been back on windows for years now, and guess what - I'm not posting about Linux. This proves your point.

  • You are right of course - your system is so fucked up that it's not even worth trying, just give up already and hand the keys to Pootin. /s!

  • Maybe if you all started voting...? For real, dudes, you need to wake up.

  • I was thinking of paperclips.

  • Pretty. Nonsense, but pretty.

  • What's not to love? Then do the same with Suckerberg please, kthxbye.

  • One gram of a polar bear's liver contains enough vitamin A to kill a human.
