These may be related. But I'm not convinced weather has anything to do with it. The cpu is running about 120F, and is busier by quite a few processes than it was when the last failure occured.
The 'fam' that was using 99.3% of the cpu, and which disappeared when I sent it a SIGHUP, has not returned, and amanda has completed her nightly chores without any hiccups. It was not started as a service and is unk to getting a status report from it. So I'm wondering just where it fits in the grand scheme of things?
